With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction that new section 302bis incorporated in the Penal Code of 1976 by Legislative Decree No. 6 of 1993 (published in Official Journal No. 2047 of 17 February 1993) provides that, without prejudice to the provisions of section 198 of the Penal Code, anyone who subjects workers to forced labour for a specific job or who withholds without due cause the whole or a part of their wages is liable to imprisonment and a fine or to one or other of these two penalities.
