Motive for not punishing the crime of self-laundering

Supreme Court, Criminal Section VI, Sentence no. 13571 of 8 March 2020

date: 11.05.2020
Area: Criminal Law

The crime of self-laundering is not punishable only in cases where the agent uses or enjoys the proceeds of the crime directly, operating or modifying on them to concretely hinder the identification of their criminal origin. Therefore, it should be excluded in cases where the transfer of money is justified by the purchase of a property and takes place thanks to screens, such as a trustee mandate.
