The Italian government's latest security bill, championed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, proposes financial incentives for lawyers who successfully convince immigrant clients to return to their home countries. This plan, which has been likened to a 'wild west-style bounty,' allocates €246,000 for the current year, with funding expected to nearly double by 2027 and 2028. Lawyers will receive a bonus only after their clients have returned, although the exact amount remains unspecified, with estimates around €615. The bill has sparked outrage among legal professionals, including the Italian national bar council, which claims it was not consulted on the matter and has called for its repeal. Critics, including opposition leaders, argue that the measure compromises the integrity of legal representation and undermines the rights of immigrants. The bill also proposes the removal of state-funded legal aid for those challenging deportation orders, further intensifying the controversy surrounding the government's immigration policies.
