The new bill “Introduction of the crime of nautical homicide and the crime of nautical bodily injury”(DDL No. 340) presented on the initiative of Senator Alberto Balboni, aims to introduce, in theCriminal Code,the crime of “nautical homicide“by providing the same discipline as for road homicide.
The full text of the DDL will now have to pass through the justice committee, and then go to the chamber for final approval. This is an amendment to the already existing
Article 589-bis on road homicide, to be replaced with:
Art. 589-
encore
.
– (Murder stradale o
nautical)
– Whoever causes for fault the
death of a person with violation of the
regulations on discipline of circulation road or na
vig

seven years.
The same bill, provides for the punishment aggravating factors related to conducting a of a vessel, an embarkationor a nave, under the influence of alcohollic or altered psycho-fisic conseguente to the intake of narcotics.acents or psicotrope. If these contribute to the causation of the death of a person, imprisonment from eight to 12 years is provided.
Penalty increases are also provided for by the DDL if the offense is committed by a person without a
of a nautical license, or
