Il reato di autoriciclaggio: la politica criminale cede il passo a esigenze mediatiche e investigative

Translated title of the contribution: [Autom. eng. transl.] The crime of self-laundering: criminal policy gives way to media and investigative needs

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Over the past years, many scholars have advocated the need to overtake the impunity granted to self-launderers under article 648-bis of the Italian Criminal Code. This position originated from the impossibility to find a rationale for such provision. More recently, the discussion on this topic expanded well beyond the academic circles to become a core issue in every political debate on criminal law: self-laundering was presented as a crucial instrument to duly prosecute some of the most serious crimes. From this new perspective, the debate lost clarity of thought, to the point that the crime introduced last December raises a number of interpretative issues. This essay analyzes some of the potentially critical aspects of the new crime, focusing on its scope and on the connections with the crime of money laundering.
