The Council of Ministers has approved a bill concerning the criminal responsibility of minors. Justice Minister Carlo Nordio clarified that the reform does not lower the age of criminal responsibility, which remains set at 14 years. The measure, entered in the Official Collection, aims to redefine the rules on the criminal liability of juveniles. At present, no further technical details on the full content of the text are available; it will now be examined in Parliament for the subsequent approval process.
