Abstract
The article focuses on the issues that have been considered by the Italian Court of Cassation regarding the antinomy between the domestic law and the European Convention on Human Rights on the "ne bis in idem" principle. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the approach followed by the Court of Cassation to ensure that Italy complies with its international obligations has not been endorsed by the Italian Constitutional Court.
