Overview
- On Wednesday, June 24, ANM president Giuseppe Tango testified to the Senate Justice Committee and the government announced it will postpone the Gip collegiale reform until next year.
- Tango warned the rule change — which would require collegial panels instead of a single judge for some custody orders — will significantly slow issuance of urgent precautionary measures that must be decided quickly.
- The ANM says newly stabilized Ufficio per il processo operators must remain dedicated to court support because reassigning them to tribunals such as the Tribunale di Sorveglianza or the Tribunale per i minorenni will lengthen proceedings and undo recent performance gains.
- Small and medium criminal offices are most at risk because some have only about a dozen judges, which would force cascading reassignments and could stretch into civil and labor dockets.
- The postponement keeps the debate open and sharpens the pressure on ministers to deliver full staff stabilization and concrete staffing plans to prevent operational paralysis and protect high‑priority criminal cases.
