The drug issue is becoming increasingly serious, as the illegal market diversifies, new substances emerge, and criminal groups exploit modern technologies, posing growing risks to the health and safety of citizens. In response to these challenges, the legislative framework has been improved to more effectively prevent and combat the illegal trafficking of prohibited substances.
The law approved today by the Government introduces stricter penalties for serious offenses, clarifies criminal liability, and regulates the use of online platforms for illicit activities. These measures are designed to deter involvement in drug-related crimes and ensure a proportionate and effective response from the authorities.
The law also addresses emerging trends, including the spread of unclassified psychoactive substances and the use of digital applications for trafficking. At the same time, it establishes clear responsibilities for professionals in the health, education, and social sectors to help prevent the involvement of minors and better protect vulnerable individuals.
