Public Corruption in the Italian Legal System: Between Early Deflagration Offenses, a Low Determinacy Coefficient and Remaining Application Tensions
by Alessandro Milone This paper takes as its starting point the analysis of a recent judgment of the Sixth Section of the Supreme Court on the subject of bribery and provides a reconstruction of the microsystem of the cases provided by the Italian legal system on the subject. It proposes a solution to overcome the application difficulties that have emerged in practice in delineating the boundary between functional bribery and corruption proper, configuring the outlines of a new framework more in line with the guarantees and principles of criminal law.
