The Legality Table for Liguria met in the afternoon in the “Cristoforo Colombo” Hall of the Liguria Region, as required by Regional Law 7/2012..
«An opportunity – underlines the regional councilor for Economic Development with responsibility for Security Alessio Piana – to take stock of the situation on urban security and the fight against organized crime, in light of the regulatory changes introduced by Regional Law 8/2022 and Regional Law 2/2024, to collect input from participants useful for better directing the administration’s policies regional. Thanks to the changes introduced, not only have we structured a regional observatory with which we annually draw up a report dedicated to the fight against organized crime which monitors the phenomenon in the area, but we have structured a budget chapter with which we will allocate resources to accompany the municipalities in the recovery of assets confiscated from the mafias. Resources which for the year 2024 correspond to 600 thousand euros and which, by the end of the month, we will decline in a dedicated tender”.
«Today’s meeting – adds Piana – took place in the name of the pro-activism of the participants, who brought to light the experiences and good practices already in place, as well as needs to pay attention to. Among these emerged that of soliciting the political and technical table on the governance of the world of procurement, the possibility of training in the public sector in the field of prevention and combating organized crime and of activating legality education initiatives, which above all involve schools and the world of youth. Furthermore, issues were highlighted such as that of minors committing crimes and increasingly widespread phenomena such as usury, counterfeiting and illegal trading in the commercial sector which we can expect to delve into in the next editions of the observatory’s regional reports”.
