Drawing inspiration from wiretaps case in Perugia-Capanne prison, Giorgio Altieri of Tonucci & Partners contributes to N&T Plus of Il Sole 24 Ore with an in-depth article regarding the confidentiality protection of lawyer-client relationship.

The article analyzes the critical issues arising while implementing the rules introduced by the so-called “Nordio Law” and highlights the regulatory framework margins of uncertainty, particularly during the preliminary investigation stage, when the protection of communication between defense counsel and client takes on crucial importance.

By comparing the framework with the legal systems of the United Kingdom and the United States, the article draws the attention towards the organizational measures such as filter teams that prevent the usage of communications protected by legal profession privilege, strengthening defense guarantees even before the court rules.

The analysis becomes part of the broader discussion concerning the necessity for a comprehensive reform of Italian law, capable of guaranteeing effective protection of lawyer-client relationship confidentiality by aligning our legal system with the most advanced international standards.
