The article aims to analyse the structure of the offences under articles 452-ter (death or personal injury as a result of the crime of environmental pollution) and 452-quater (environmental disaster) introduced in the Italian penal code by Law n. 68/2015, focusing on the main critical issues related to causal assessment, also analysing the possibilities coming from the use of epidemiological evidence for the purpose of proving the causal link between polluting conducts and the harm to human health. Therefore, the article will analyse the expression “damage or danger caused to public health” written in article 452-quater of the Italian penal code, focusing on its potentiality from a de jure condendo perspective.
Il contributo si propone di analizzare la struttura del fatto tipico dei reati ex artt. 452-ter e 452-quater comma 1 n. 3 c.p. a tutela di ‘ambiente’ e ‘salute’ introdotti con la Legge n. 68/2015 sui c.d. “eco-delitti”, evidenziandone i profili di maggiore problematicità con particolare riguardo all’accertamento del nesso causale, in relazione al quale si indagano le possibili ricadute applicative derivanti dall’utilizzo di evidenze epidemiologiche. Si procede, poi, ad una analisi più approfondita della locuzione “offesa o pericolo alla pubblica incolumità” prevista dalla fattispecie ex art. 452- quater, comma 1 n. 3 c.p., valorizzandone la portata di novità in una prospettiva de jure condendo.
