A man in Catania, Sicily, trained his dog to dump rubbish bags by the roadside in an attempt to outsmart anti-fly-tipping cameras, municipal police have said. The 'canine courier' was caught on newly installed surveillance footage, prompting officers to post the clip on the city’s official Facebook page with a pointed message: 'Inventiveness can never become an alibi for incivility.' The owner has since been identified and fined.
Illegal dumping is a chronic problem across Italy, particularly in the south. Authorities recorded more than 9,300 waste-related offences in 2023 – a 66% increase on the previous year – as councils increasingly turn to camera traps and smart monitoring systems to catch offenders in the act

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 20 - Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said Friday that the government would challenge two recent rulings against it and in favour of the German Sea-Watch migrant-rescue NGO.
This week a court in Catania ordered the release of the NGO's Sea-Watch 5 migrant-rescue ship after the Italian authorities temporarily impounded it for allegedly breaching the rules for such operations, while judges in Palermo ordered the Italian State to pay 76,000 euros in compensation to it for illegally detaining another of its ships, the Sea Watch 3, in 2019.
On Wednesday Premier Giorgia Meloni expressed indignation about the latter decision, saying it was an example of how elements within the judiciary are seeking to thwart the government's efforts to halt illegal immigration.
"Up until now we have challenged these types of rulings, using the three-level judicial system (in Italy), and we will continue to do so," Piantedosi said at the opening of a new police office at Rome's central Termini train station.
"We have challenged them whenever possible, so we will do the same in this case as well". (ANSA).
