Le novità introdotte dal D.Lgs. 75/2020 alla normativa 231/2001 in attuazione della “direttiva PIF
Abstract
The present work concerns the amendments made by Legislative Decree 75/2020 (enacting the delegated Law 117/2019), by which the Directive (EU) 2017/1371 (so-called PIF Directive) was implemented in domestic law.
In particular, the emendments adopted concern criminal liability of entities established by Legislative Decree 231/2001 and, more specifically, the increase of the predicate crimes list: (i) in Art. 24 Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Embezzlement of public funds, fraud against the State or a public entity or aimed to the misappropriation of public funds, cyber fraud against the State or a Public entity and fraud in public supplies”) the crime of fraud in public supplies (Art. 356 Criminal Code) and fraud in agriculture (Art. 2 Law 898/1986) have been introduced; (ii) in Art. 25 Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Embezzlement, graft, undue induction to give or promise utility, corruption and power abuse”) were introduced the crimes of embezzlement (Art. 314, paragraph 1 Criminal Code), embezzlement through profit from other’s error (Art. 316 Criminal Code) and power abuse (Art. 323 Criminal Code), which – by the way – will be relevant for the purposes of criminal liability of entities only as long as the Union’s financial interests will be affected; (iii) Art. 25-quinquiesdecies Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Tax Crimes”) now also encompasses the crimes of inaccurate tax return (Art. 4 Legislative Decree 74/2000), omission to file tax return (Art. 5 Legislative Decree 74/2000) and undue tax offsetting (Art. 10-quater Legislative Decree 74/2000) and, lastly, (iv) the new administrative illicit established by Art. 25-sexiesdecies Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Smuggling”) introduces the smuggling offences provided by Presidential Decree 43/1973 in the predicate offences list.
The amendments require an adjournment of the Compliance Models provided by Art. 6 Legislative Decree 231/2001. Hence some suggestion are given with regard to the possible risky areas and to the connected precautionary defenses that have to be put into effect.
