“Milan Case”: the Municipality Announces the New “Remedial Measures”

Our Managing Partner, Guido Alberto Inzaghi, commented in Il Foglio on the “remedial measures” adopted by the Municipal Executive with Resolution (DGC) No. 1409/2025.

The Resolution provides operational guidance on how to manage building works that are currently the subject of pending criminal proceedings.

Inzaghi observes that some operators are already considering the solution proposed by the Municipality, viewing it as a useful remedy in a critical situation. While he maintains that the appointment of a commissario ad acta would be the most effective and rapid route, he acknowledges that—if such an option is not feasible—it is understandable that operators seek alternative pathways. He reiterates, however, that he continues to consider the building titles challenged by the Public Prosecutor’s Office to be lawful.

Inzaghi further explains that the course proposed by the Municipality may represent the “lesser evil” for operators, even though it does not extinguish the building offence, it may lead the criminal court to refrain from ordering the demolition or even the confiscation of the properties.
