For the purposes of double criminality, it is necessary that, at the time of the decision on the extradition request, the Italian legal system classifies as an offence the conduct for which surrender is sought. However, it is not required that the abstract legal definition of the offence under the requesting State’s law finds an exact counterpart in a provision of Italian law. What must be established is that the conduct, described in its factual (naturalistic) elements, can be subsumed under a criminal offence provided for by the legal system of the requested State.
