Judges pensions '90% higher' than under contribution system

(ANSA) - Rome, June 12 - Social services agency INPS said Friday that the annual average pension of retired judges is 103,000 euro gross - about 90% more than would be likely if the system was based strictly on contributions to the pension system. Premier Matteo Renzi's administration is reviewing the pension system, particularly since a court ruling in April rejected earlier cost-saving reforms that froze increases based on inflation, and forced the government to repay some money.
