Italian term or phrase: "liberi tutti" (in this context)
Could this be "all in free"?

Curiosità locale è la tradizione secondo cui i malfattori che riuscivano ad aggrapparsi alle inferriate del palazzo venivano considerato assolti da ogni reato. Può essere questa l’origine del gioco “liberi tutti”?
