Rewrote the disputed rave decree . The government amendment also changes the number of the article, no longer 434 bis but 633 bis.
The offense is limited to " anyone who organizes and promotes the invasion of other people's land or buildings, public or private, in order to organize a musical gathering or gathering for other entertainment purposes " when "the invasion results in a concrete danger" to health or public safety due to failure to comply with drug, safety and hygiene regulations.
By specifying the type of occupation, those of students or other public events are thus excluded , cases that could have been included in the previous text, as the oppositions and various jurists had observed.
The new offense is thus referred to precise situations, connected to the violation of the rules on hygiene, safety and drugs.
The penalty remains from 3 to 6 years for those who organize or promote the occupation of land or buildings for the performance of raves . And it remains possible to activate telephone interceptions on the related investigations. In addition to imprisonment, a fine ranging from one thousand to 10 thousand euros is also foreseen and "the confiscation of things that served or were intended to commit the crime, as well as of things that are its product or profit, is always ordered".
