Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: “And preventive detention, which until now applied only to adults, will also be extended to minors. Fourth, Milan will receive 500 additional military personnel until the end of the year, working alongside the police and the Carabinieri, and we are strengthening the juvenile justice system with more magistrates and more places in detention facilities, so that the certainty of punishment also applies to 16-year-olds.”
