LEXAMBIENTE Rivista Trimestrale di Diritto Penale dell’Ambiente Fasc. n. 4/2019 38 Il reato di trasporto di rifiuti (art. 256, 1° comma, d.lgs. 152/06): istantaneità vs permanenza The crime of transportation of waste (art. 256, 1st paragraph, d.lgs. 152/06): instantaneousness vs permanence

Abstract

The paper criticizes the Court of Cassation which qualifies the case of the illegal transport of waste (art. 256, 1st paragraph, Legislative Decree 152/06) as an instantaneous or, at the most, possibly habitual offense and instead affirms its nature permanent. Furthermore some drawbacks are highlighted from the traditional framework in relation to the prescription of the crime, jurisdiction over the territory and the application of the cause of non-punishment for particular tenuity of the fact.
