Paragraph 59
 

Lastly, it remains to be assessed whether the draft law provides for effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions as required by international standards. First of all, it should be mentioned that Articles 28 et seq. of Legislative Decree no. 2011-87 provide, as regards most offences, for a range of graduated sanctions, including formal notice, suspension of the activity of the political party and its dissolution; for certain offences relating to the funding of political parties (Articles 18 and 19) it provides for fines, and for the offence of foreign or anonymous funding, imprisonment.
