Emergency services operators are facing fines for traffic violations dating back to 118, a fact that has sparked outrage since the vehicles fined were used for the secondary transport of dialysis patients during the Covid-2021 emergency.

"This is a classic example of administrative sloppiness that demonstrates how public funds are being wasted while our healthcare system is already in crisis," commented Francesco Emilio Borrelli, MP for the Green-Left alliance. "Money wasted on fines and collection agents that could and should have been avoided with a little more care and attention. Unfortunately, superficiality and arrogance are the order of the day.
