Meloni: Those who commit crimes cannot be compensated. Enough paradoxes.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has declared that individuals who commit crimes will no longer be eligible for compensation if they sustain injuries during the commission of those acts. This new rule, part of the latest Security Decree, aims to address what Meloni described as "paradoxes" within the justice system.

Meloni articulated the principle behind the change on social media, stating, "You attack me. I defend myself. And I should compensate you? It's not right." She emphasized that the state stands with "decent people, not criminals."

The decree stipulates that if a person is harmed while engaged in illegal activity, neither they nor their family members can seek any form of restitution. This measure is intended to prevent situations where perpetrators of crimes might receive damages from their victims or the state.

The announcement, accompanied by an image with the slogan "No more paradoxes! Those who commit a crime cannot claim compensation for damages suffered while offending," signals a tougher stance on crime and victim support in Italy.
