A ‘bounty’ of 3 thousand euros and penalties of up to 10 thousand euros against arsonists in Liguria: these are the innovations envisaged by the League’s bill in the Regional Council illustrated by the vice-president of the Liguria Region Alessandro Piana and by the group leader Stefano Mai during an inspection of the Undersecretary for Agricultural and Forestry Policies Gian Marco Centinaio in the areas affected by the fires in the Savona area. The League has filed a proposal that “raises the ceiling of sanctions up to 10 thousand euros for those who intentionally set fires” and establishes for the first time “a cash prize of 3 thousand euros to those who provide useful information to identify arsonists” .
“A real bounty because they are criminals – Piana and Mai remark – unscrupulous criminals who endanger human and animal lives, the environment and the future of our territory”. 50% of the proceeds from the sanctions will be allocated to the restoration, recovery and improvement of the burned territories and for the other part to strengthen the regional forest fire prevention system. “At the end of the legislature it is unthinkable to approve a law at this time, but in the next legislature the idea is to set the example of Liguria as a case to be followed at the national level – said Centinaio -. Liguria is not the only Region of Italy. ‘Italy where there are fires and where there are mostly arson “.
