The PhD thesis addresses the impact of digital technologies on the concept of domicile in relation to constitutional and procedural law, questioning the adequacy of traditional safeguards in addressing the protection of fundamental rights in the digital age. Starting from an analysis of the evolution of the notion of domicile from a domestic, international, and comparative perspective, the research assesses whether the guarantees provided for in Article 14 of the Italian Constitution can be applied to the so-called digital domicile, or whether the recognition of new human rights is necessary to provide effective protection to the complex interests conveyed through modern digital devices. The analysis then proceeds through the different stages of criminal proceedings, from investigative activities to trial, assessing the systemic consistency of existing safeguards. In particular, the study, on the one hand, explores the issues arising from inspections, searches and seizures carried out within the digital domicile, highlighting the need for appropriate technical and procedural guarantees; on the other hand, it analyses the various forms of covert surveillance, both regulated and unregulated, assessing their compatibility with constitutional rights and proposing de iure condendo solutions grounded in the principle of proportionality and in the need to ensure foreseeability and adequate safeguards against potential abuses. Finally, the thesis examines the admissibility of data collected within the digital domicile in criminal proceedings, focusing on the rules governing the admission, acquisition and evaluation of digital evidence, as well as on the role of adversarial trial principle as a guarantee of the right to a fair trial in the digital context.
La tesi di dottorato esamina l’impatto delle tecnologie digitali sulla nozione di domicilio costituzionalmente e processualmente rilevante, interrogandosi sull’adeguatezza delle garanzie tradizionali a fronte delle nuove esigenze di tutela dei diritti fondamentali nell’era digitale. Muovendo dall’analisi dell’evoluzione della nozione di domicilio nella prospettiva interna, sovranazionale e comparata, la ricerca si propone di verificare se le garanzie di cui all’art. 14 Cost. possano estendersi al c.d. domicilio informatico o se sia necessario riconoscere nuovi diritti fondamentali idonei ad assicurare una tutela adeguata alla complessità delle istanze veicolate dai moderni dispositivi digitali. La successiva analisi si sviluppa attraverso l’esame delle diverse fasi del procedimento penale, dall’attività investigativa al giudizio dibattimentale, al fine di valutare la tenuta sistemica delle garanzie esistenti. In particolare, l’elaborato, da un lato, approfondisce le problematiche connesse alle ispezioni, perquisizioni e sequestri nel domicilio informatico, evidenziando la necessità di garanzie tecniche e processuali adeguate; dall’altro lato, analizza le diverse tipologie di captazioni digitali, tipiche e atipiche, valutandone la compatibilità con i diritti costituzionali e proponendo soluzioni de iure condendo basate sul principio di proporzionalità e sulla necessità di assicurare prevedibilità e adeguati presidi contro possibili abusi. Infine, la tesi analizza l’utilizzabilità in sede processuale dei dati raccolti nel domicilio informatico, esaminando le modalità di ammissione, acquisizione e valutazione delle prove digitali e il ruolo del contraddittorio quale presidio del giusto processo anche nel contesto digitale.

Abstract
The PhD thesis addresses the impact of digital technologies on the concept of domicile in relation to constitutional and procedural law, questioning the adequacy of traditional safeguards in addressing the protection of fundamental rights in the digital age. Starting from an analysis of the evolution of the notion of domicile from a domestic, international, and comparative perspective, the research assesses whether the guarantees provided for in Article 14 of the Italian Constitution can be applied to the so-called digital domicile, or whether the recognition of new human rights is necessary to provide effective protection to the complex interests conveyed through modern digital devices. The analysis then proceeds through the different stages of criminal proceedings, from investigative activities to trial, assessing the systemic consistency of existing safeguards. In particular, the study, on the one hand, explores the issues arising from inspections, searches and seizures carried out within the digital domicile, highlighting the need for appropriate technical and procedural guarantees; on the other hand, it analyses the various forms of covert surveillance, both regulated and unregulated, assessing their compatibility with constitutional rights and proposing de iure condendo solutions grounded in the principle of proportionality and in the need to ensure foreseeability and adequate safeguards against potential abuses. Finally, the thesis examines the admissibility of data collected within the digital domicile in criminal proceedings, focusing on the rules governing the admission, acquisition and evaluation of digital evidence, as well as on the role of adversarial trial principle as a guarantee of the right to a fair trial in the digital context.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
