The Italian Code of Criminal Procedure contains the rules governing criminal procedure in every court in Italy. The first and initial code in the Italian Republic was established by the Fascist Government in 1930 and was kept until 1988. This code adopted an inquisitorial system. In 1988, a new code was enacted that chose to abandon the inquisitorial system but did not complete full transition to an adversarial system; the resulting system could be considered to be somewhere in between.
The main parties to a criminal trial are the Judge, the defendant and the Pubblico Ministero (the prosecutor). There are other parties that are optional, and they are: the Polizia Giudiziaria (Judiciary Police, a branch of the Police whose duty is to help a prosecutor during his investigations), the parte lesa (the injured party), the responsabile civile (civilly liable, who can be compelled to pay damages, if the defendant is not solvent) and the civilmente obbligato per la pena pecuniaria (civilly liable, who can be compelled to pay the fines, if the defendant is not solvent).
