Art. 40 Codice di diritto processuale penale svizzero (CPP) - Conflitti in materia di foro
CPP; Titolo secondo: Autorità penali; Capitolo 3: Foro
Art. 40 CPP · Conflitti in materia di foro
Se vi è contestazione fra le autorità penali del medesimo Cantone sul foro competente, decide il pubblico ministero superiore o generale oppure, in mancanza di siffatte funzioni, la giurisdizione cantonale di reclamo.
Se le autorità di perseguimento penale di più Cantoni non riescono ad accordarsi sul foro competente, il pubblico ministero del Cantone che per primo si è occupato della causa sottopone senza indugio, in ogni caso prima della promozione dell’accusa, la questione al Tribunale penale federale affinché decida.
L’autorità competente a decidere sul foro può stabilire un foro diverso da quello previsto negli articoli 31–37 se il centro dell’attività penalmente rilevante, la situazione personale dell’imputato o altri motivi pertinenti lo esigono.
