The Italian Code Of Criminal Procedure

The volume is aimed at legal practitioners (judges, lawyers, court clerks, police forces, diplomacies, governmental departments, legal translators) whose task is to apply the Codice in cases of judicial cooperation among States, criminal proceedings involving foreign accused persons and legal counselling within the European Union. In its own nature, the book is also designed for legal scholars and students worldwide. Indeed, the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is still considered a point of reference for its technical quality and the solutions adopted to transpose several rules typical of the Anglo-American accusatory model into a traditionally inquisitorial criminal justice system. It should therefore not surprise that it is one of the most influential and studied legislations in comparative law.
