Italian security decree offers lawyers bonus for facilitating migrant repatriation

A new Italian security decree includes a bonus for lawyers who facilitate voluntary repatriation of their migrant clients. The decree, approved by the Senate, offers lawyers 615 euros if their client agrees to return to their home country. This bonus matches the amount given to migrants for initial needs upon return. Opposition parties have criticized the measure as "normative shame," arguing it incentivizes lawyers to discourage appeals against expulsion and undermines migrant rights.
