About

M. Ceresa-Gastaldo, S. Lonati (eds), Profili di procedura penale europea, Giuffrè, 2021.

This upcoming volume aims at an ambitious goal: offering a systematic analysis of the European principles in the criminal procedure area, not limited to their theoretical affirmation but extended to their practical functioning and their concrete effects on the Italian legal system.

Research interests

My work and research agenda focuses on the protections and guarantees granted to individuals and legal entities under investigation or charged with a criminal offence under Italian and European law. The crucial issue in this area of criminal procedure concerns the balance between the effectiveness and efficiency of criminal prosecution and the rights of the defendant, which are often enshrined in constitutional rules or international treaties.

In particular, my research activity explores two major issues: 1) Italian criminal procedure (precautionary measures, evidence, and appeal procedures); 2) European criminal procedure (European Convention on Human Rights, relations between the Italian criminal legal system and the system of the European Convention, supranational dimension of the criminal procedure legal mechanisms, international judicial cooperation).
