The legislative reform referred to in the decree-law of 8 September 2021, no. 120, subsequently converted into law no. 155 of 8 November 2021, renewed the general approach to forest fires, intervening in it as well as strengthening the prevention and active control measures, already provided for by framework law no. 353 of 2000, through a modification of the criminal offense pursuant to art. 423 bis c.p.

La novella legislativa di cui al d.l. 8 settembre 2021, n. 120, successivamente convertito in legge n. 155 dell’8 novembre 2021, ha rinnovato l’approccio generale in materia di incendi boschivi, intervenendovi oltre che con un rafforzamento delle misure di prevenzione e lotta attiva, già previste dalla legge quadro n. 353 del 2000, attraverso una modifica della fattispecie penale ex art. 423 bis c.p. L’obiettivo perseguito dal legislatore è stato quello di introdurre correttivi «emergenziali» volti a contrastare, nella maniera più efficace possibile, la recrudescenza e la gravità dei fenomeni incendiari che hanno flagellato, anche nell’estate passata, la nostra penisola. La riforma, più in particolare, ha modifica- to la fattispecie delittuosa dell’incendio boschivo introducendo impor- tanti novità nella disciplina del regime circostanziale, in tema di pene accessorie, ma anche dal punto di vista delle misure premiali e più in generale della «non punibilità». Il presente lavoro analizza i contenuti del recente intervento legislativo, valorizzandone i punti di forza, ma evidenziandone al tempo stesso distonie ed aspetti critici.

Abstract
The legislative reform referred to in the decree-law of 8 September 2021, no. 120, subsequently converted into law no. 155 of 8 November 2021, renewed the general approach to forest fires, intervening in it as well as strengthening the prevention and active control measures, already provided for by framework law no. 353 of 2000, through a modification of the criminal offense pursuant to art. 423 bis c.p. The objective pursued by the legislator was to introduce «emergency» corrective measures aimed at countering, in the most effective way possible, the resurgence and severity of the incendiary phenomena that have plagued our peninsula, even in the summer of 2021. The reform, more specifically, has modified the criminal offense of the forest fire by introducing important innovations in the circumstantial regime, in terms of ancillary penalties, but also from the point of view of reward measures and more general of «non-punishment». This work analyzes the contents of the recent legislative intervention, enhancing its strengths but at the same time highlighting its distortions and critical aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
