Gli articoli 36, 47, 67 della "costituzione albertina": tra diritto comune, sostanziale, processuale e legge speciale (Adeodato Bonasi)

This article examines Adeodato Bonasi’s views on ministerial liability. In his opinion, the Albertine Statute did not require a special law, since the criminal and civil liability of ministers was already governed by common law. The essay highlights, however, the limitations of Bonasi’s position, noting that common law was insufficient to regulate specific ministerial offenses, which are characterized by a strong political and constitutional dimension. It also explores in depth the need for a special criminal procedure, considered essential to ensure the proper balance between ministerial liability, the protection of the constitutional order, and procedural safeguards. The paper thus highlights the importance of Bonasi’s analysis in the evolution of Italian legal doctrine on ministerial liability.
