Crimes Against Public Administration: Introduction

Crimes against Public Administration are a category of criminal offenses that affect the integrity and functioning of public institutions. These crimes are governed by the Italian Penal Code and involve actions that undermine citizens' trust in the State and its branches. For those accused of such crimes, the assistance of an experienced criminal lawyer is essential to ensure an adequate and informed defense.

Main Crimes Against Public Administration

Crimes against Public Administration are divided into several types, each with specific characteristics and legal consequences. Below is an overview of the main crimes contemplated by our legal system:

• Corruption: Consists of an agreement between a public official and a private individual to perform an act contrary to official duties in exchange for money or other benefits. Corruption can be active or passive, depending on whether the initiative comes from the private individual or the public official.
• Extortion: Occurs when a public official, abusing their power, forces someone to give or promise undue money or other advantages.
  
• Embezzlement: Happens when a public official appropriates public money or goods that they have access to due to their office.

Criminal Procedure and Defense

Individuals accused of crimes against Public Administration face complex criminal proceedings, in which the assistance of a criminal lawyer is crucial. Criminal defense in these circumstances requires an in-depth knowledge of legal norms and a well-planned legal strategy. A criminal lawyer will be able to assess the evidence against the accused, contest any procedural irregularities, and propose the best defensive solutions.

Legal and Social Consequences

The consequences of crimes against Public Administration are not limited to criminal penalties, which may include imprisonment and disqualification from public office. Such crimes also have a significant impact on the personal and professional reputation of the accused.
