Matteo Salvini condemns reports of alleged Islamic tribunal in Italy

Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Lega leader Matteo Salvini has condemned reports of an alleged Islamic tribunal in the Veneto region. Salvini stated that parallel laws and Islamic courts cannot exist in Italy, asserting that all residents must respect Italian law. He has reported the matter to the Italian Ministers of Justice and the Interior.

European Parliament member Anna Maria Cisint has filed a formal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office in Padua regarding an organization that reportedly seeks to resolve disputes among Muslims using Sharia principles. This development coincides with a debate in the European Parliament regarding a resolution presented by the Patriots group, which calls for the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.

Cisint characterized the presence of such organizations as a threat to democracy, citing similar concerns raised in Germany, Austria, and France.
