The Decree dated 21 November 2007 n. 231, implementing two European directives (n. 2005/60/EC and n. 2006/70/EC), is the main framework which coordinates the laws that have been passed in recent years on the issue of money laundering. It also has been amended by the so called “Save Italy Decree” (Decree dated 6 December 2011 n. 201, inside the Monti’s manoeuvre), which lays down urgent measures for growth and consolidation of public finances. The paper is focused on the impact of the new rules on the field of civil law, expecially on obligations and contracts. It also tries to identify some interesting problems about the protection of individual rights, such as right of transparency in the market, right to Know economic and financial information, right to defense and to a fair trial, right to secrecy and right of privacy.

Abstract
The Decree dated 21 November 2007 n. 231, implementing two European directives (n. 2005/60/EC and n. 2006/70/EC), is the main framework which coordinates the laws that have been passed in recent years on the issue of money laundering. It also has been amended by the so called “Save Italy Decree” (Decree dated 6 December 2011 n. 201, inside the Monti’s manoeuvre), which lays down urgent measures for growth and consolidation of public finances. The paper is focused on the impact of the new rules on the field of civil law, expecially on obligations and contracts. It also tries to identify some interesting problems about the protection of individual rights, such as right of transparency in the market, right to Know economic and financial information, right to defense and to a fair trial, right to secrecy and right of privacy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
