Uso della collaborazione processuale e dialogo fra magistrati nel contrasto al terrorismo e alla mafia

The procedural provisions established in the fight against terrorism and the mafia and the characteristics of the investigations reveal common features. In highprofile events, the criminal judge plays a strong and creative role, along with a peculiar structure of the charges, the recourse to maxi-investigations and maxi-trialswhich have permanently deformed the purpose of criminal procedure in a political- criminal function. Some investigators and prosecutors, dialoguing together,have strongly dominated the public debate and influenced the legislative evolution on the subject of procedural collaboration. The constant interaction is testified toby a common approach to the repentant, by the use of interrogation as a dialogue and by the verification of «crow witness» statements.
