Transnational Organized Crime and European Union: Aspects and Problem
2013
The fight against criminal organisations and their ability to carry out illegal activities beyond national systems has represented a “bridge head” in the European path towards the harmonisation of criminal laws in the Member States. After identifying the role of the harmonisation of criminal law in the European Union Treaties, the study underline that the difficulty in defining the concept of transnational organised crime could lead to a too wide European intervention. In order to avoid such a risk, it is useful to refer to other relevant international sources, like the 2000 Palermo UN Convention. Nevertheless, the more recent European decisions on the matter (in particular, a Resolution by…
The notion of Organised Crime in eu law
2017
The contribution consider, first, the original multiplicity of national legislative solutions with respect to the crucial issue of ‘punishability’ of criminal organisations; then, identify the common standards under european harmonisation legislation, along with their respective characteristics and problems, in order to finally assess the most recent situation and the effectiveness of EU action in this area. A more general consideration on the nature of harmonisation in this area serve as background: what is at stake is not so much a rule (of EU law), but rather an actual principle (of EU law). As such, it cannot be evaluated in absolute terms of success or failure, of either standards rigi…
L'armonizzazione dei reati in Europa fra 'parabola' e 'piano inclinato': il caso della incriminazione dell'organizzazione criminale
2021
After recalling Alessandro Bernardi's contribution to the diffusion in Italy of attention to the issues of European criminal law, the contribution examines the gap between programmes and achievements in the harmonisation of European criminal law systems. According to a first approach, it has traced a sort of parabola, which is now in a downward phase. In this regard, the incrimination of criminal organisations is taken as a test case for assessing European criminal law harmonisation. A critical review is then made of the deficits in the creation of a common basis for combating criminal organisations, highlighting certain trends in the adaptation of Member States to the standards set by the …

Fair Trial e "giusto processo" italiano
2016
Il contributo esplora le sequenze storiche e le dinamiche culturali dell’innesto, nella cultura giuridica italiana, della categoria concettuale del “giusto processo”, dal primo affacciarsi del concetto nel dibattito dottrinale della seconda metà del novecento al suo consolidarsi, anche grazie alla giurisprudenza costituzionale, dapprima alla stregua di una ricostruzione interna condotta in chiave autarchica, di seguito, e sempre più consapevolmente, alla luce del canone sovranazionale del fair trial e del case law della Corte di Strasburgo; il punto di svolta, più che nelle sentenze “gemelle” del 2007, è individuato nel varo del “nuovo” art. 117 Cost. e nel successivo stratificarsi di nuove…

Our networks are weighted ones, with each weight catching the frequency of …
