Art. 48 Legge federale del 22 marzo 1974 sul diritto penale amministrativo (DPA)
DPA; Titolo terzo: Procedura penale amministrativa; Capo secondo: Inchiesta e decisione penale dell’amministrazione; F. Provvedimenti coattivi; III. Perquisizione domiciliare e personale; 1. Motivi, competenza
Art. 48 DPA
Si può procedere a una perquisizione domiciliare soltanto se è probabile che in un’abitazione o in altri locali, come anche in un fondo cintato e attiguo a una casa, si trovi nascosto l’imputato o vi si possano rintracciare oggetti o beni soggetti al sequestro oppure tracce dell’infrazione.
Occorrendo, l’imputato può essere sottoposto a una perquisizione personale. In tal caso, la perquisizione è fatta da una persona dello stesso sesso o da un medico.
La perquisizione è operata in base a un ordine scritto del direttore o capo dell’amministrazione in causa.
Se vi è pericolo nel ritardo e se l’ordine di perquisizione non può essere tempestivamente ottenuto, il funzionario inquirente può ordinare o intraprendere in proprio la perquisizione. Provvedimento siffatto dev’essere motivato negli atti.
