In matters of extradition to a foreign State, the prohibition on issuing a favourable decision provided for by Article 705, paragraph 2, letter (c) of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure applies exclusively where an alarming situation can be identified that is attributable to a normative or factual choice of the requesting State, irrespective of contingencies unrelated to institutional policies and in respect of which legal protection can in any event be activated.
