(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 26 March 2026 as a Committee composed of:
Artūrs Kučs, President,
Raffaele Sabato,
Anna Adamska-Gallant, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application against the Italian Republic lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 8 August 2024,
Having regard to the decision not to have the applicant’s name disclosed,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDUREThe applicant’s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant was represented by Mr A. Saccucci, a lawyer practising in Rome.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3, Article 5 §§ 1 and 5, Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the alleged unlawfulness of his prolonged detention, poor conditions of detention which were allegedly inadequate for his mental health in the absence of specific treatment, as well as those about the non-enforcement of the domestic decision ordering his placement in a specialised structure (Residence for Execution of Security Measures – “REMS”) and his release from prison, and the absence of domestic remedies were communicated to the Italian Government (“the Government”).
The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Italy in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, from the expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.
The payment will constitute the final resolution of the case.
THE LAWThe Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.
Done in English and notified in writing on 16 April 2026.
