The device must also issue an automatic and simultaneous alert to the victim and the nearest police unit when the attacker fails to comply with the minimum distance determined by the Court.
The proposal also establishes an increase in the penalty from 1/3 to half when non-compliance occurs due to violation of electronically monitored exclusion areas or the removal, violation or alteration of the monitoring device without judicial authorization.
