Falcone-Borsellino Act

The Falcone-Borsellino Act is Italian legislation named after two prominent anti-mafia prosecutors, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, who were murdered by the mafia. Enacted to strengthen Italy’s fight against organized crime, the law enhances measures for the detection, confiscation, and seizure of assets linked to criminal organizations. It also promotes better cooperation among law enforcement agencies and improves protections for witnesses and prosecutors. Overall, it aims to dismantle mafia influence by targeting their financial resources and improving legal tools to combat organized crime more effectively.
