They had also ordered the ministry to pay back the extra amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the ruling and subsequent requests for reimbursement, the CGIL trade union said, the ministry has not only never paid back what it had been ordered to, it also did not even respond to requests sent from the Lecco office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 14, the Lecco court ruled in favour of those behind the petition, having ascertained discrimination against migrants by the economy ministry and ordered the ministry to pay back the amounts required over the years.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Article by ANSA, translated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infomigrants.net\/en\/post\/27990\/italian-court-rules-against-higher-immigrant-permit-fees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"InfoMigrants (opens in a new tab)\">InfoMigrants<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court in Italy&#8217;s northern city of Lecco on October 14 fined the economy ministry for having introducing additional fees for migrants requesting a renewal of their stay permits in 2011.
