Corruption defense — DNA cases
Corruption cases are among the most demanding criminal proceedings: technical evidence, media pressure, and major professional and personal stakes.
Offenses covered
- Bribe-taking (Art. 289 Criminal Code) and bribe-giving (Art. 290);
- Influence peddling (Art. 291) and buying influence (Art. 292);
- Offenses assimilated to and connected with corruption, including those within the competence of the DNA.
What makes these cases distinctive
Such cases are frequently built on denunciations, recordings, staged flagrante delicto operations and interceptions. Each of these means of evidence is subject to strict legality requirements — and rigorous scrutiny of those requirements, in the preliminary chamber and at trial, is often where the case is decided.
Equally important is the analysis of the constitutive elements: not every benefit and not every promise meets the conditions of the criminal law, and the distinction between a criminal act and one that falls short of that threshold is demonstrated technically, not rhetorically.
