The judgment against Italy, announced on September 3, 2026, in Strasbourg, found a violation of the right to liberty and security (Article 5 of the ECHR). The petitioner, an Ivorian national born in 2008, was detained from October through December 2023 at a reception center for asylum seekers in the province of Brindisi without a clear and transparent legal basis justifying his detention and without the opportunity to challenge it in court. read more

On September 14, 2026, Italy extended the suspension of the Schengen Agreement with Spain by an additional 15 days. The extension of the measure, which had originally been set for one month and had been justified by citing the increase in migrant arrivals in Ceuta, prompted a corresponding measure from Spain. In response to Italy’s actions, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior equally extended the reciprocal border controls on September 15, 2026. Italy and Spain do not share a land border, and the controls apply solely to sea and air travel. read more
