Resumo: This essay analyses Article 1(1015) et seq. of Law no. 178/2020 and the related Inter-ministerial Decree of 20th December 2021, that – for the first time within the Italian criminal procedure system – aims at introducing general rules on the reimbursement of legal costs by the State to the acquitted person. The new discipline takes a significant step forward, nevertheless it reveals serious and widespread glitches, e.g. with regard to its extent, the terms for submitting the relevant application and for what concerns the relations with other procedural institutions. Its collocation, outside the Code of Criminal Procedure, also seems inappropriate. Furthermore, the sums allocated by the State (EUR eight million per year) are completely insufficient to guarantee the effectiveness of the aforementioned rules, if compared to the number of acquittals, which can be inferred from official statistics. The Author outlines reform proposals, also in the light of government data concerning the number and the results of proceedings.

Le previsioni costituiscono un notevole passo avanti, ma presentano gravi e diffuse criticità nel perimetro applicativo, nei termini di presentazione dell’istanza e nei rapporti con altri istituti processuali. Anche la loro collocazione, al di fuori del codice di procedura penale, pare inopportuna. Inoltre, le somme stanziate dallo Stato (otto milioni di euro annui) sono del tutto insufficienti a garantire l’effettività della disciplina, se rapportate al numero di assoluzioni, desumibili dalle statistiche ufficiali. L’Autore delinea proposte di riforma, anche alla luce dei dati ministeriali sul numero e sull’esito dei procedimenti.Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal - IBRASPP2022-08-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/article/view/71310.22197/rbdpp.v8i2.713Brazilian Journal of Criminal Procedure; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022)Revista Brasileña de Derecho Procesal Penal; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2022)Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal; V. 8 N. 2 (2022)Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal; v. 8 n. 2 (2022)2525-510X10.22197/rbdpp.v8i2reponame:Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal (Online)instname:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal (IBRASPP)instacron:IBRASPPitahttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/article/view/713/449Copyright (c) 2022 Nicola Pascuccihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPascucci, NicolaPascucci, Nicola2022-08-26T11:03:42Zoai:ojs.revista.ibraspp.com.br:article/713Revistahttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPPONGhttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/oairevista@ibraspp.com.br2525-510X2359-3881opendoar:2022-08-26T11:03:42Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal (Online) - Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal (IBRASPP)false
