Criminal justice reform

The reform is mainly aimed at reducing the length of criminal proceedings by identifying a wide range of actions by simplifying existing procedures and by increasing the productivity of Courts.

The simplification is pursued extending the application of simplified procedures, broadening the use of digital technology, defining time limits for the duration of preliminary investigation, reviewing the notification system to make it more effective.

Higher productivity of Courts is achieved through a monitoring system and incentives to accomplish standard performance across courts.
