«A historic achievement». No more shortened trials and sentence reductions for crimes punishable by life imprisonment. Finally. The undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior Nicola Molteni, who has already been fighting for this principle since the last legislature, thus defines l'ok in the Senate – con 168 favorable votes (League, FdI, M5S, Leu) 48 opposite (Pd, FI) e 43 abstain – to reform of the Criminal Code which provides for theexclusion from the 'abbreviated procedure' of those who have committed very serious crimes punishable by life imprisonment.
Nicola Molteni, This is a long-awaited measure: certain sentences cry out for revenge. What changes now?

«No more discounts and “prizes”. This is a battle of civilization and justice that responds to the principle of certainty of punishment.
