Gewinnabschöpfung zur Bekämpfung Organisierter Kriminalität am Beispiel Italiens

The effective confiscation of illegal assets is commonly seen as an indispensable instrument in fighting organised crime. Due to the Mafia, the Italian judicial system has a particularly far-reaching confiscation law at its disposal, which even permits the confiscation of illegal assets as a preventative measure. This book provides a systematic illustration of this law, while also giving an overview of the multifaceted phenomenon of organised crime and its legal classifications in Italy and Germany. Furthermore, it deals with the significant question of if and to what extent judicial assistance can be granted for Italian confiscation orders from the perspective of German law. In the important field of Italian confiscation orders used as a preventative measure (misure di prevenzione patrimoniali), the author points out a way to improve judicial cooperation between both countries.
