"The incentive is in the latest security bill from Giorgia Meloni's far-right government and goes to the lower house of parliament for final approval this week. It was passed by the upper house after fiery debate."
"Lawyers who assist their foreign clients in accepting voluntary repatriation will receive a bonus, but only once the individual has returned to their country of origin."
"UCPI, which represents criminal lawyers, said the measure was incompatible with Italy's constitution, adding that lawyers must not be paid to obtain an outcome desired by the state."

A new government plan in Italy proposes bonuses for lawyers who successfully persuade immigrant clients to return to their home countries. This initiative, part of a security bill from Giorgia Meloni's far-right government, has sparked significant controversy and opposition.

Critics argue that this approach undermines legal independence and the rights of immigrants, with various legal organizations expressing strong disapproval and calling for the measure's repeal.
