pentito

Attributed pentito role

Record who uses the term, its intended meaning and any supporting authority record.

1. Who calls this person a pentito, and in which dated source? provenance
2. Does the term denote criminal cooperation, a formal classification or merely claimed repentance? definition

Criminal insider distinction

Require evidence of the relevant insider relationship and cooperation instead of relying on witness participation alone.

1. What distinguishes this person's involvement from that of an uninvolved witness or victim? boundary
2. What establishes cooperation beyond a confession or an isolated tip? provenance

Basis of insider knowledge

Connect relevant conduct, relationships and periods of involvement to the information supplied.

1. Which activities or relationships gave the person access to the matters disclosed? provenance
2. Which aspects of that involvement are alleged, admitted or adjudicated? boundary

Disengagement evidence

Distinguish declared separation from evidence about subsequent conduct and contacts.

1. What dated evidence supports or challenges the claimed break with criminal associates? provenance
2. Which later contacts require contextual review rather than an automatic conclusion that cooperation ended? action

Documented cooperation start

Anchor reported cooperation to records without treating the first public report as its actual beginning.

1. Which record establishes the earliest known cooperation with a competent authority? provenance
2. What was the person's procedural position when that cooperation began? boundary

Versioned insider account

Track disclosures, additions, corrections and retractions as distinct dated events.

1. What was disclosed, when, to whom and through which recorded interview or statement? provenance
2. Which later statements add to, correct or retract earlier claims? boundary
3. How much time elapsed between relevant events and their disclosure? measurement

Claim-specific support

Associate each material claim with its knowledge basis and independently assessed evidence.

1. Did the person participate in, observe, hear about or infer the asserted event? provenance
2. Which evidence independently supports or contradicts this particular claim? provenance
3. Do apparently separate supporting accounts derive from the same original source? boundary

Bounded reliability determination

Attach assessments to the deciding authority, claims, proceeding and date rather than assigning permanent personal credibility.

1. Which authority assessed which statements, and what did its decision actually conclude? provenance
2. Does the assessment concern admissibility, reliability, investigative usefulness or another specific issue? boundary

Documented protection scope

Represent protection as a separately evidenced determination; official guidance describes programme assessment and possible family inclusion. See [Direzione Nazionale Antimafia e Antiterrorismo](https://dna-dev-fd-01.azurefd.net/it/contents/collaboratori-e-testimoni-di-giustizia-e-lordinamento-penitenziario).

1. What decision establishes protection, its effective period and the categories of people covered? provenance
2. Which protection-related information may the current agent access or disclose? action

Separate benefit and duty records

Link each benefit or obligation to its own legal basis and decision, leaving unsupported eligibility unresolved.

1. Which benefit was requested or granted, by whom and under which applicable provision? provenance
2. What recorded conditions or duties apply to that particular determination? definition
3. Which competent authority must assess an alleged breach or proposed change? action

Dated status transition

Preserve prior states and record what each subsequent event actually changes.

1. What evidence establishes interruption, conclusion or resumption of cooperation? provenance
2. Does the event change cooperation, protection, a benefit or only public description? boundary

Authorised role summary

Generate summaries that retain attribution and uncertainty while respecting documented access restrictions.

1. Which records authorise linking the role to a named person or an alias? provenance
2. What may be included in this audience's summary without revealing restricted identity or protection information? action
3. How should disputed or superseded pentito attributions be marked in downstream uses? action
