Italian Law Prescription Period

Summary

Administrative sanctions under Italian law 231/2001 prescribe in five years from the offense date. Interruptions, such as formal contestation or precautionary measures, start a new prescription period. If the interruption is due to contestation of an offense dependent on a crime, the prescription halts until the final judgment. In this case, with rinvio a giudizio in 2024 and a first-degree judgment in 2027, the prescription period does not run again until the final judgment is reached, making it unlikely to lapse before a third-degree judgment.
