On Nov. 8, 2012, Italy enacted new anti-corruption legislation, joining other countries, including China, Russia and the United Kingdom, that have recently implemented strong anti-corruption measures. Disposizioni per la prevenzione e la repressione della corruzione e dell'illegalit' nella pubblica amministrazione (“Provisions for the prevention and combating of corruption and illegality in public administration”) (C. 4434-B), http://www.camera.it/_dati/leg16/lavori/stampati/pdf/16PDL0064270.pdf%20'[Italian].

Development of New Law

Approved by overwhelming majorities in the Italian Parliament, the new anti-corruption law provides for the creation of an agency, the National Anti-Corruption Authority (NACA), to coordinate anti-corruption efforts, as well as numerous other measures, including increased penalties for corruption and whistleblower protections. C. 4434-B, note 1, supra at Art. 1(2), 3, 12, 19(1).The strength and scope of the new anti-corruption law's provisions may initiate a more active era of anti-corruption enforcement in both the public and private sectors in Italy, a country previously not viewed as a leader in such efforts.
