CAT/OP/ITA/1/Add.1 practices of abuse against innocent people, even under criminal investigation, seems to be the result of allegations/interviews the accuracy of which should be substantiated. 130. More importantly, the background under reference is detrimental vis-à-vis both the judicial Authorities (especially the Attorneys’ Offices at disembarkation Municipalities) and the Police forces engaged in the fight against THB. Needles to say, this fight requires the prompt acquisition of relevant information and every useful evidence, to be eventually used in a possible judicial proceeding. Therefore, Para.60 recommendation cannot be accepted at all. We take this opportunity to recall our rigid Constitution, envisaging specific principles, inter alia: (Arts. 22 – 28 Cost.) due process of law; fair trial; presumption of innocence; right of defence and legal counselling/aid; the possibility to apply for protection; the double adjudication that in Italy includes three instances; the ECHR, and so forth. Para. 61 Pozzallo (UAMs) 131. With regard to minors at Pozzallo Hotspot, it has to be recalled that in this Province there has been a significant number of landings that have also seen a massive presence of unaccompanied minors. 132. Regarding UAMs, the Municipalities concerned hold the competence to placement in suitable facilities and, in particular, in those ones that are accredited and registered in the Regional Register. 133. Furthermore, even though it is not within its strict competence, the Prefecture together with the Police HQs contributes to the search for facilities, so that the stay at the Hotspot is limited to the minimum time, necessary for pre-identification and assistance. In this context, support is provided by the ad hoc UAMs Unit of the Ministry of Interior, indicating the availability of places in FAMI (standing for Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund)-related governmental structures as located throughout the country. 134. In particular, as per rule, in the immediacy of a landing of unaccompanied minors, the personnel of the Immigration Police Headquarters, once the relevant procedures are completed, immediately informs the Juvenile Court, entrusting children to the City of Pozzallo – this City is to be intended as the one in charge of tracking and temporarily placing the children concerned at the CPSA (where to wait for available places in the aforementioned accredited facilities). In this respect - and also with reference to Paragraph 84 - minors are regularly and systematically identified as a top priority. 135. Moreover, at the Center there are on regular basis representatives of Save the Children and Terre Des Hommes, collaborating with Police officers pursuant to MoUs and agreements with the Ministry of Interior and the Prefecture in Ragusa. Also with the help of those NGOs - that give legal counselling - the statements on the age are collected and duly considered. - The accommodation of minors in accredited facilities, thanks to the cooperation of Save The Children – that is always properly involved – has been generally achieved in the shortest possible time. Permanence, even at critical periods, is generally contained in a reasonable time. 136. Following the high number of unaccompanied minors’ arrival – coupled with the overcrowding at both FAMI and Sicily Region authorized structures - the City of Pozzallo has been unable to find the places required for the proper arrangement of all arrived minors. Therefore, their stay at the Hotspot has been expectionally extended. 137. The City of Pozzallo, although actively engaged in the search of places at accredited facilities, has indeed encountered difficulties to manage an objectively complex situation for the extraordinarily high number of minors. 25
