Last Updated: December 12, 2023

The prefect of Palermo, Massimo Mariani, announced in an interview with Giornale di Sicilia that there will be a zero-tolerance policy and tough crackdown on violent nightlife. This includes increased controls and fines for those who do not follow the rules. This change will be implemented in the next meeting of the Committee for Public Order and Safety, with a plan to be launched before New Year’s. The goal is to prevent excessive behavior in entertainment areas and dangerous fights among young people. The prefect stated that controls will be strengthened and perfected during the holiday season, and the crackdown will continue in the coming months. This is part of an effort to combat illegal behavior and maintain public safety.
