Nordio, 'criminal protection for new technological crimes will be a topic of the future'

Today there are new crimes such as identity theft, computer fraud against the elderly, fake news with artificial intelligence. There is still no criminal protection, but it will be one of the real problems of tomorrow. The law is forced to chase reality.

Thus the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, from the stage of the Mole Vanvitelliana, in Ancona, where he took part in the talk "Visions of freedom" with Nicola Porro, Marcello Veneziani and Serena Sileoni as part of the "La casa di Liberilibri" festival organized by the publishing house of the same name.

"Ten years ago, before being minister, I chaired the commission for the reform of the penal code, and I said that we had to have imagination - he added - With new technology some crimes are created and others disappear. Some crimes disappear because they are uneconomical, now for example kidnappings are no longer done because it is uneconomical, it is better to take a boat of illegal immigrants and you earn the same profit more quickly".
