Art. * Applicazione della sanzione su richiesta *. L'applicazione all'ente della sanzione su richiesta è ammessa se il giudizio nei confronti dell'imputato è definito ovvero definibile a norma dell'articolo * del codice di procedura penale nonché in tutti i casi in cui per l'illecito amministrativo è prevista la sola sanzione pecuniaria. Si osservano le disposizioni di cui al titolo II del libro sesto del codice di procedura penale, in quanto applicabili. *. Nei casi in cui è applicabile la sanzione su richiesta, la riduzione di cui all'articolo *, comma *, del codice di procedura penale è operata sulla durata della sanzione interdittiva e sull'ammontare della sanzione pecuniaria. *. Il giudice, se ritiene che debba essere applicata una sanzione interdittiva in via definitiva, rigetta la richiesta. Comma * is the only reason a judge might reject or there are other reasons .. english answer
In addition to Comma *, a judge might reject the application if:
- The conditions for plea bargaining under Article * are not met.
- There is insufficient evidence supporting the request.
- The entity's compliance program is inadequate or non-existent.
These factors, along with the potential for a definitive interdiction sanction, can lead to rejection.
So the definitive interdictive is not the only reason?
Case Rating: *
No, the definitive interdictive is not the only reason for rejection. Other factors include unmet plea bargaining conditions, insufficient evidence, and inadequate compliance programs. Each of these can independently lead to a judge's decision to reject the application.
