Italy’s Constitutional Court sends gambling ruling to Senate committees
Italy’s Constitutional Court referred ruling No. 20 to the Senate, where it was assigned to the first and second standing committees. The decision, dated 12 January 2026 and deposited on 24 February, found Article 13-bis(1-bis) of the 2017 city security decree unconstitutional insofar as it omitted compatible provisions on interventions against illegal gambling and betting and on the integrity of sporting events.
The ruling changes the constitutional status of a provision relevant to enforcement against illegal gambling and betting.
