Order of the Court of Milan, I Criminal Section, 6 December 2016

The Court of Milan ruled that the fact of imposing an administrative sanction and a criminal sanction on same person for same facts was not contrary, in the case, to the ne bis in idem principle enounced in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the ECHR. According to the Tribunal, the ECHR Court has deeply modified its previous interpretation on this particular issue, which resulted from the judgment of 2014 on the case Grande Stevens v. Italy, as is testified by the Grand Chamber judgment of 15 November 2016 on the case A and B c. Norway.
