Preventive detention has been extended to crowded places, minors will be immediately charged, 500 more officers will be deployed to Milan, and, most importantly, a new crime has been introduced: "Organized Violence at Public Demonstrations." The government's crackdown follows the looting in Milan and the riots in various cities. The Council of Ministers has approved the security decree. The measure contains eight articles. The new crime punishes anyone who, during protests, uses sticks, clubs, or throws objects, endangering the safety of others. These cases face a prison sentence of two to five years and a fine of up to €20,000.

The penalty increases if the violence is committed while the person's face is covered and if infrastructure or public services are damaged. Anyone who, even "through computer or electronic means," organizes or promotes the formation of groups to engage in violent demonstrations risks a prison sentence of four to twelve years. Among other changes, the extension of preventive detention to include "those who disrupt security in places with a significant influx of people": a measure that will also apply to minors, but only if they are 16 or older. The extension of the deferred arrest for flagrante delicto is also envisaged.

Furthermore, a previous bill introduces the presumption of mental capacity for minors over fourteen, making them immediately liable for prosecution without requiring a determination of mental capacity at the time of the crime. Furthermore, fines ranging from €500 to €1,000, doubled in the case of repeated offenses, are being introduced for parents of minors—even those not criminally responsible—who commit acts of violence during demonstrations. Among the measures is the possibility for the police commissioner to order a ban on minors from gathering when five or more people, even in a group, in a public place or open to the public, engage in intimidating behavior.

A preventive measure that may also apply to certain predetermined time slots for individuals who have committed, or are caught engaging in, certain harmful behaviors against people and property in the previous five years, or who have already committed acts in the previous five years for which they were subject to preventive measures. Finally, Article 8 stipulates the immediate deployment of 500 military personnel to Milan until December 31, at a cost of €4.7 million. "The contingent will be made available to public safety authorities to assist with the services required in the city for territorial control and public safety," Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi explained, adding that at the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security he will chair tomorrow in Milan, "there will be an action plan." "That is the context in which we will examine how these resources are used and assess whether they can be given some innovative function compared to their traditional use, such as greater dynamism," he announced. "Behind that shop window is a family who has made a lifetime of sacrifices, there are workers who risk losing their jobs, there are citizens who have the right to live their city without fear. There is nothing revolutionary about devastation and theft. Devastation and theft are not protest, they are criminality. And the state's response must be firm."
