What will I learn?
This webinar will provide the audience with a general overview of Italy’s criminal provisions and procedures concerning PBR infringement and enforcement. More specifically, the webinar will focus on the speakers’ experiences with the criminal trial of PBR infringement cases before the Italian Tribunal, including gathering of evidence (e.g., genetic and phenotypic examinations delegated by the Public Prosecutor pursuant Article 360 of the Criminal Procedural Code), the police investigation procedures, the procedural roles in the trial (Public Prosecutor, Judge, plaintiff, and defendant), and the roles the Fiscal Authority (GDF), Carabinieri and ICQRF (the Fraud Service in the Agricultural Sector) may play in such cases. Finally, several recent criminal cases in the area of PBR infringement will be analyzed by the speakers.
