Criminal appeal dismissed for lack of standing due to procedural timing violations under Italian Code of Criminal Procedure.

The Court of Cassazione declared the appeal filed by Gaetano Teatro inadmissible because it was lodged personally after the new procedural rules took effect. The Tribunal of Surveillance had previously rejected the request for a social service trial placement, but the appellant failed to comply with the strict standing requirements introduced by Legislative Decree 103/2017. Consequently, the court ruled that the appeal violated Article 613 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and ordered the appellant to pay court costs and a fine.
