In the public administration (PA), most of the information (both qualitative and quantitative) is contained in texts in natural language and often the texts “hide” within them many numerical or quantifiable data. Among the documents of the PA, the judgments, which can contain information on criminal events that have an economic dimension, are particularly important: there is a flow of money generated by corruption or bribery and public procurement can be subject to disruption auction, just to mention some topics often brought to public opinion by the media. A possible source of data is that of the sentences issued by the Court of Cassation that can be obtained on the Web site http://www.italgiure.giustizia.it/sncass/. In this study, we present the preliminary results on 308 sentences of the Court of Cassation: information obtained with text mining—the names of companies, their legal form and the company name—is linked with additional information from business registers, creating the conditions for future economic analysis of criminal events. |
