Italy approves tougher anti-riot laws after Milan violence

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 16:58 · Archive

Italy has approved new security measures including tougher penalties for rioters and financial liability for parents of children involved in vandalism.

Italy approved a raft of security measures on Tuesday in response to violence in Milan. The new measures include establishing a fresh offence of violent participation in a demonstration, introducing tougher penalties for rioters, and imposing financial liability on parents whose children take part in vandalism and looting.

The approval came under the direction of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The measures represent a hardening of Italy's approach to public disorder and appear designed to deter both direct participation in violent protests and parental involvement in preventing such behaviour.
