Infrastructure Decree, illegal occupations: the acquisition “cannot give the occupants any rights”

The Infrastructure Decree, approved today by the Council of Ministers, also intervenes on the subject of “illegal occupations”. This is what we read in the final press release of the Council of Ministers, which specifies that «when a public body acquires an illegally occupied private property, the acquisition cannot give the occupants any rights over the property, not even through other public or private entities, including associations, cooperatives and third sector bodies. Previous occupation cannot constitute a qualification or priority criterion for the assignment of public housing, and acts adopted in violation of the prohibitions are null and void.”
