How I work
It can happen on holiday, on a business trip, or over events that took place years earlier. The papers arrive in Italian, deadlines run regardless, and early decisions shape the outcome.
I handle the proceedings before the competent Italian authorities and keep you informed remotely. You come to Italy only when it is truly necessary.
The Netherlands is a European logistics hub: many companies that sell or manufacture in Italy are based or operate there.
Common situations
- Italian court papers served on you in Amsterdam
- An arrest or a complaint during a stay in Italy
- A European Arrest Warrant issued by the Italian authorities
- A crime you suffered in Italy, with a claim to bring as a civil party
- A trial in Italy you cannot travel to attend
Useful EU and international rules
-
European Arrest Warrant
Governed by Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, it allows a person to be surrendered between Member States for prosecution or to serve a sentence.
-
Interpretation and translation
Directive 2010/64/EU, implemented in Italy through Article 143 of the Code of Criminal Procedure among other provisions, guarantees an interpreter and translation of essential documents to anyone who does not speak Italian.
-
European Investigation Order
Directive 2014/41/EU allows evidence to be gathered in another Member State, for example by hearing a witness who lives in Amsterdam.
