Headlines: Controversial Lawyer "Bonus," two recent robberies, and could marijuana be legalized in Italy?

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

We're continuing this month's headlines episodes today talking about a contentious new bonus for immigration lawyers in Italy, a bank robbery in Naples with possible connections to other high profile robberies, and a jewelry store robbery in Rome. We'll also tell you about a protest by Riccardo Magi, secretary of +Europa, and Radicali Italiani (Italian Radicals), for the legalization and regulation of marijuana in Italy. Edit: In this episode, we mislabel the political party, Radicali Italiani (Italian Radicals), as an activist group.
