The general and hasty repeal of the legislation on citizenship income (introduced by Decree-Law No. 4/2019) by the so-called 2023 budget law (art. 1, paragraph 318, Law No. 197/2022, effective from January 1, 2024), has inadvertently also repealed the crime of providing false information aimed at obtaining this benefit (art. 7, Decree-Law No. 4/2019). In an attempt to remedy the mistake, Decree-Law No. 48/2023 (art. 13, paragraph 3), in force since May 5, 2023, has stipulated that this crime remains applicable. The author argues that offenses committed between January 1 and May 4, 2023, are not punishable under art. 7, Decree-Law No. 4/2019, but under art. 640-bis of the Penal Code (in the less frequent cases of preventive control by the disbursing entity) or (more often, in application of the fourth paragraph of art. 2 of the Penal Code) under arts. 56 and 316-ter, paragraph 1, of the Penal Code, as an attempt at unlawful obtaining of public funds (while they would not be punishable in any way in cases where the threshold mentioned in the second paragraph of art. 316-ter of the Penal Code is not exceeded).
a generale e frettolosa abrogazione della normativa sul reddito di cittadinanza (introdotta dal d.l. n. 4/2019) a opera della legge c.d. di bilancio 2023 (art. 1, comma 318, l. n. 197/2022, con efficacia dal 1° genn. 2024) ha involontariamente travolto anche il reato di false informazioni finalizzate al conseguimento di tale erogazione (art. 7, d.l. n. 4/2019). Cercando di rimediare all’errore, il d.l. n. 48/2023 (art. 13, c. 3), in vigore dal 5 maggio 2023, ha previsto che tale reato continua a essere applicabile. L’autore ritiene che i fatti commessi tra il 1° gennaio e il 4 maggio 2023 non siano punibili in base all’art. 7, d.l. n. 4/2019, ma secondo l’art. 640-bis c.p. (nei casi meno frequenti di controllo preventivo da parte dell’ente erogatore) ovvero (più spesso, in applicazione del quarto comma dell’art. 2 c.p.) in base agli artt. 56 e 316-ter, c. 1, c.p., come tentativo d’indebita percezione di pubbliche erogazioni (mentre non sarebbero in alcun modo punibili nelle ipotesi di mancato superamento della soglia di cui al secondo comma dell’art. 316-ter c.p.).

Abstract
The general and hasty repeal of the legislation on citizenship income (introduced by Decree-Law No. 4/2019) by the so-called 2023 budget law (art. 1, paragraph 318, Law No. 197/2022, effective from January 1, 2024), has inadvertently also repealed the crime of providing false information aimed at obtaining this benefit (art. 7, Decree-Law No. 4/2019). In an attempt to remedy the mistake, Decree-Law No. 48/2023 (art. 13, paragraph 3), in force since May 5, 2023, has stipulated that this crime remains applicable. The author argues that offenses committed between January 1 and May 4, 2023, are not punishable under art. 7, Decree-Law No. 4/2019, but under art. 640-bis of the Penal Code (in the less frequent cases of preventive control by the disbursing entity) or (more often, in application of the fourth paragraph of art. 2 of the Penal Code) under arts. 56 and 316-ter, paragraph 1, of the Penal Code, as an attempt at unlawful obtaining of public funds (while they would not be punishable in any way in cases where the threshold mentioned in the second paragraph of art. 316-ter of the Penal Code is not exceeded).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
