Tribunal of Turin, 12 October 2026

The Tribunal of Turin (judge Fabrizio Alessandria) finds that the conditions for applying the accelerated procedure were not met, acknowledges the suspension by operation of law of the enforceability of the contested refusal, and orders the immediate issue of the international protection applicant's document under Article 4(4) of Legislative Decree 142/2015. The Commissione territoriale had applied the accelerated procedure under Article 42(1), point (j), of Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 to a national of Bangladesh, by a determination of 3 August 2026.

The vulnerability documented by the screening

The screening form drawn up by the Questura of Savona on 6 July 2026 was unambiguous:

• under the heading “conditions requiring special assistance/support/monitoring”, “psychological support” was entered;
• under the heading “vulnerability/vulnerable groups”, “person suffering from mental disorders, person subjected to other serious forms of psychological, physical or sexual violence, person subjected to torture/other inhuman or degrading treatment” was entered;
• under the heading “specific reception needs”, “access to necessary and adequate mental health care” was entered.

The duty to assess under Article 21(2)

Article 21(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 requires the determining authority not to apply, or to cease to apply, accelerated or border procedures “where […] it considers that the necessary support cannot be provided” in light of the vulnerabilities, “paying particular attention to victims of torture, rape or other serious forms of psychological, physical, sexual or gender-based violence”. The determination of 3 August 2026 — although issued in the documentary context described above — “does not show a specific assessment of the screening findings, nor of whether the required support can be provided within the accelerated procedure”: it is therefore not shown that such support was provided within the special procedure.

The effect on the procedure and on suspension

The contested decision cannot benefit from the derogatory procedural regime: the ordinary regime applies, with automatic suspension of enforceability by virtue of the filing of the appeal (Article 68(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1348; Article 35-bis(3) of Legislative Decree 25/2008). The Tribunal orders the issue of the document under Article 4(4) of Legislative Decree 142/2015.

The decree belongs to the line of cases on vulnerability flagged by the screening but not assessed by the Commissione — alongside Trib. Bologna 15068/2026 and Trib. Bologna 15142/2026 — and is to be read with Trib. Catania 11066/2026 on the re-expansion of the right to remain for want of procedural guarantees.
