Manoeuvre, to the magistrates almost 100 thousand euros per head between arrears and increases

The upcoming Italian budget law includes provisions for up to 100,000 euros per judge, consisting of back pay and salary increases. According to the Sole 24 Ore, the Documento Programmatico di Bilancio submitted to Brussels includes a 'sentences fund' of 1.9 billion euros, with 970 million allocated specifically for judges. This amount is divided into one-time back payments (around 70,000 euros per person) and annual salary increases (20,000 euros per year). The measure aims to correct past errors in calculating judicial salaries using a system rejected by the Council of State, which had excluded certain allowances that should have been paid. The new budget law will include decrees adjusting judicial salaries from 2018 to 2023, requiring the minister to forego cuts in IRPEF taxes for the middle class and the tax exemption on thirteenth-month pay. However, the Association of Italian Judges (ANM) disputes these figures, stating they are exaggerated and that actual amounts would be significantly lower.
