Senate approves criminal-justice reform

(ANSA) - Rome, March 15 - The Senate on Wednesday approved the government's criminal-justice reform bill in a confidence vote. The bill passed with 156 votes in favour, 121 against and one abstention. The legislation now returns to the Lower House, which approved the bill in September 2015, as it was amended by the Senate. One amendment obliges the government to present decrees on wiretaps related to the reform within three months.
