Art. 7 CPP · Obbligo di procedere

Nell’ambito delle loro competenze, le autorità penali sono tenute ad avviare e attuare un procedimento se vengono a conoscenza di reati o di indizi di reato.

I Cantoni possono: a. escludere o limitare la responsabilità penale dei membri delle loro autorità legislative e giudiziarie e dei membri del loro Governo per espressioni usate nel Parlamento cantonale; b. subordinare all’autorizzazione di un’autorità extragiudiziaria il procedimento penale per crimini o delitti che membri delle loro autorità amministrative e giudiziarie hanno commesso nell’esercizio delle proprie funzioni.
