President Sergio Mattarella on
Tuesday signed and promulgated a law revising the antimafia code
but at the same time wrote to Premier Paolo Gentiloni to
highlight "critical profiles" in the measure and to stress the
need that "the government should proceed with a careful
monitoring of the effects of the code". The president said he
signed the law after vetting it to make sure it complied with
the Italian Constitution. The anti-mafia code has been
criticised by business groups and others for extending to
corruption cases the asset-seizure provisions applying to mafia
crimes.
