Fight against corruption in Italy: next steps

On 6 September 2018 the Council of Ministers approved the Bill on "Measures on offences against the public administration" (Anti-corruption Bill, also called "Spazza Corrotti"). To enter into force, the Bill will have to be approved by both Chambers.

Through these new provisions Italy’s effort in fighting against corruption is progressing. The abovementioned Bill follows the approval of the so called Severino law, the establishment of ANAC (Italian National Anti-corruption Authority), as well as the approval of new regulations on procurement, the introduction of civic access and the protection of whistleblowers.
