The italian way to anti-corruption

Abstract

The fight against corruption is one of the most critical issues of the Italian administration. Traditionally, a repressive approach has been preferred, which has focused on toughening criminal sanctions. Only recently, based on the legal experiences of other countries, has there been a shift towards prevention. From this point of view, corruption is an endogenous risk for the administration that must be addressed through the planning of organisational measures. Although good results have been achieved, there are still many critical issues.
