ABSTRACT – The paper, starting from the analysis of the normative, historical
and dogmatic evolution of the agent provocateur, intends to highlight
the differences between this figure and the one of the undercover agent.
The work focuses, in particular, on the problem of the criminal responsibility
of the agent provocateur and examines the developments of the new
national legislation that introduces undercover operations in the field of
crimes against the Public Administration. In conclusion, the article illustrates
– in a comparative key – the regulations of undercover operations in
the Italian and American legal systems.
