ROME, July 8 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right-wing party presented a draft bill on Wednesday to promote the repatriation of convicted foreign offenders and make it easier to strip them of Italian citizenship.
• Under the proposal, all non-EU nationals sentenced to more than one year in prison would be deported to their home countries, regardless of whether they consent.
• During a press conference in parliament, members of Meloni's Brothers of Italy party said deportations would take place under bilateral agreements to be negotiated with the countries concerned.
• Offenders would have only limited grounds to challenge deportation, including the risk of inhuman treatment or the death penalty in their home country.
• Repatriated prisoners would be barred from returning to Italy.
