刑事责任为个人责任，制裁也是为各项犯罪所量身订做的。腐败犯罪一般被视 为严重犯罪，对这类犯罪将给予比例相称的惩处，并将考虑到加重情节，而且 有可能追加剥夺资格等其他制裁。意大利对《公约》下的各项犯罪并没有规定任何豁免权或管辖特权。强制起诉的原则在意大利根据宪法第 112 条加以适用。公共检察官负责监督和指挥警方的刑事侦查，检察部门就起诉是否证据充分所作决定由法官在作初步侦查后加以核实。刑事诉讼程序法第 371 条就国家层面的协调作了规定。刑事诉讼程序法载有可由法官加以落实的若干预防性要求，包括预防性拘押。 如果审判不需要被告出庭，也就不可能为避免拘押而申请保释。对有条件释放 和假释在刑法中作了规定。刑事诉讼程序法的若干规定允许法官对作为嫌疑犯或被告的公职人员采取中止职务或临时禁止任职之类预防性措施。2012 年法律延长了这类措施的持续期 间。刑法第 28 条、第 29 条和第 31 条规定可以在定罪后作出附加制裁，包括临 时或永久剥夺担任公职的资格。第 32 条规定可剥夺行使管理职责的资格，包括 在公营公司中行使这类职责。 第 165/2001 号法令连同刑事诉讼程序法第 653 条和第 150/2009 号法令共同管辖 纪律惩戒程序和刑事诉讼程序之间的关系。纪律惩戒程序可以与刑事诉讼程序 平行展开和完成，也可以在下达最后判决以前暂停执行，也可根据有罪或无罪判决而对纪律制裁进行复审。更多规定载于 2012 年反腐败法。 意大利宪法第 27 条和 1975 年第 354 号法律规定了有关促使罪犯重返社会的相关措施。
Criminal responsibility is personal and sanctions are tailored to each offence. Corruption offences are generally regarded as serious offences with correspondingly proportionate punishment and aggravating circumstances, and possible additional sanctions such as disqualification. Italy does not foresee any immunities or jurisdictional privileges in relation to offences under the Convention. The principle of mandatory prosecution applies in Italy under Article 112 of the Constitution. Public prosecutors oversee and direct criminal investigations by the police, and the prosecution’s decision as to whether there is sufficient evidence for indictment is verified by a judge for preliminary investigations. Article 371 of the Criminal procedure Code provides for coordination at the national level. The Criminal Procedure Code contains several precautionary requirements that can be put in place by a judge, including preventive detention. There is no possibility for bail applications to avoid detention as the presence of the defendant at trial is not required. Conditional release and parole are foreseen in the Criminal Code. Several provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code enable judges to take precautionary measures such as suspension and temporary prohibitions for public officials who are suspects or accused. The Law of 2012 extends the duration of such measures. Articles 28, 29 and 31 of the Criminal Code foresee the possibility of imposing accessory sanctions after conviction, including temporary or permanent disqualification from public office. Article 32 provides for disqualification from management functions including such functions in public companies. Legislative Decree No. 165/2001 governs the relation between disciplinary and criminal proceedings, along with Article 653 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Legislative Decree No. 150/2009. Disciplinary proceedings may be carried out and concluded in parallel to criminal proceedings, or suspended pending final judgment, which depending on conviction or acquittal may also lead to reviewing disciplinary sanctions. Further provisions are contained in the anti-corruption law of 2012. Article 27 of the Italian Constitution and the Law No. 354 of 1975 provide for measures to reintegrate convicts into society.
