The procurement specifications for CPR facilities are inadequate
October 13th, 2025
ASGI and Cittadinanzattiva obtained a significant ruling from the Council of State which, in judgment no. 7839 of 7 October 2025, found the procurement specifications governing the management of Repatriation Detention Centres (CPR) to be inadequate with regard to safeguarding the right to health of detained individuals. The administrative court declared certain provisions of the ministerial decree of 4 March 2024 unlawful, pointing to structural shortcomings in suicide prevention measures and in the guarantee of minimum healthcare standards.
This decision represents an important development in the legal debate on the CPR management model and on the extent of public authorities’ responsibilities in protecting fundamental rights in contexts of deprivation of liberty.
