Abstract
Section 10.1, deals with the meaning and the limits of the guarantee of ne bis in idem (which protects an individual who has already been acquitted or convicted with a final decision by one State from the potential to be subjected to a new criminal proceeding in another State for the same fact, with the consequent risk of a duplicate punishment) in the ECHR system (where the ne bis in idem principle represents a fundamental right of the individual) and in the Criminal Judicial Cooperation area (where the ne bis in idem guarantee can be also placed in the specific dimension of the mutual recognition). From this perspective, Sect. 10.1 deals in particular with the evolution of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice on this matter. Section 10.2 is focused on the problem of lis pendens (i.e., the simultaneous beginning of criminal proceedings for the same fact against the same person within different States), pointing out the best solutions to prevent or to resolve it.
