Milan, 5 February (LaPresse) – Preventive detention "is an institution which, as has been said by many, is not at all liberticidal, and is present in almost all European legal systems. There are all possible guarantees and there is also a relationship with the judicial authorities that is reversed,‘ meaning that the detention ’is communicated to the judicial authorities who, based on their analysis, may decide that the conditions do not exist and order the release. It has always been this way in our formulation." This was stated by Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi during the post-Council of Ministers press conference, specifying that it is a measure “bound by very important circumstantial conditions” and that it allows for “people to be taken to police stations and held for no more than 12 hours”. ‘We know a little about the law too,’ he added, pointing out that there are ‘subsequent paragraphs to the first paragraph of Article 13 of our Constitution’.
