L’acquisizione della prova tramite tortura e l’operatività della sanzione processuale
2021
Nel 2017 il legislatore italiano ha espressamente introdotto nel codice di rito penale la previsione per cui le dichiarazioni o le informazioni ottenute tramite il reato di tortura non sono comunque utilizzabili, salvo che contro le persone accusate di tale delitto e al fine esclusivo di provarne la responsabilità penale (art. 191 comma 2-bis c.p.p.). A questo riguardo, lo scritto mira, anzitutto, ad approfondire il ruolo e le finalità svolti da tale norma nell’ambito del sistema processuale penale. In particolare, l’Autore, oltre a compiere un’attenta analisi della portata della sanzione processuale ricollegabile alle prove acquisite con la tortura, intende svolgere alcune riflessioni crit…

A New Technique for Implementing ECtHR Judgments: Will It Work? The Corte Costituzionale “Urges” the Houses to Reform the Ergastolo Ostativo
2021
In this much-awaited ruling (Order No. 97 of 15 April 2021), the Corte Costituzionale had to decide on the constitutionality of the existing prohibition on release on parole for life prisoners convicted for Mafia-related crimes, in the absence of any cooperation with justice (ergastolo ostativo). This form of life imprisonment without prospect of release had already been deemed in contrast with Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights (echr) in the judgment rendered by the Strasbourg Court in Viola v. Italy (No. 2): on that occasion, the ECtHR invoked a legislative reform of the ergastolo ostativo. In the order at hand, the Corte Costituzionale, instead of formally declaring the…
Torture and Maltreatment in Prison: A Medico-Legal Perspective
2023
The maltreatment and torture of prisoners constitute a global problem. Methods of maltreatment are classified as the psychological and the physical, and physical methods inevitably lead to psychological sequelae. Our review offers an analysis from the medico-legal perspective of the literature on the torture and physical and sexual abuse experienced by prisoners and their psychological sequelae and aims to investigate the medico-legal issues of investigating maltreatment in prison so as to suggest methodologies and updated approaches for dealing with such cases in a forensic context. We performed a comprehensive literature search of peer-reviewed publications (articles and reviews), researc…
Abusi, terrore, violenza. Qualche esempio di ‘disfunzionamento’ nell’amministrazione della giustizia nel IV secolo d.C.
2012
With all the rhetorical amplification of some formulas, realism and accuracy of the testimony by the rhetor Libanius of Antioch on the arbitrary administration of justice by the governors of Syriac metropolis impress the mark of cruelty upon the judicial practice of the time: tortures to wrest confessions or testimonies distinguished themselves by their unusual brutality. The study of the criminal justice system leads to a sociological analysis, although the juridical and social status was losing importance in light of the gravity of the crimen.

Izraelskie inspiracje amerykańskiej wojny z terrorem
2016
Celem rozdziału jest wyjaśnienie, w jakiej mierze polityka Izraela wobec jego wrogów inspirowała amerykańskie zmagania w ramach tzw. wojny z terrorem. Autorzy skupiają się na trzech obszarach - torturach, administracyjnych zatrzymaniach i tzw. celowanych zabójstwach. Wszystkie one uznano za legalne w systemach prawnych izraelskim i amerykańskim, podczas gdy są one zakazane przez prawo międzynarodowe, w tym konwencje genewskie. Amerykanie po zamachach z 11 września 2001 roku poszli w ślady państwa żydowskiego w tych kwestiach. Izrael, państwo, które od lat otrzymuje wielkie wsparcie ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, wskazał tym drugim sposoby radzenia sobie z terroryzmem.
