The Italian government has reformed immigration policies, focusing on Cprs, following a court ruling that acquitted the State of responsibility for a migrant's suicide in a detention center.
Italy has reiterated its commitment to tackling illegal immigration by aligning its efforts with right-wing policies, as indicated by a recent judgment addressing the handling of migrants in Cprs (Centers for Repatriation). The court ruling followed the tragic suicide of Moussa Balde, a 23-year-old Guinean migrant, in the Cpr facility in Turin on May 23, 2021. After being found without documents post-assault in Ventimiglia, Moussa was placed in an inadequate unit within the Cpr despite his severe psychological distress. The director of the facility, Annalisa Spataro, was sentenced to a year in prison (suspended) for neglecting his mental health needs and ordered to pay €350,000 to his family, represented by attorney Gianluca Vitale.
