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.
