Dall'Anese attended the University of Costa Rica, where he studied law.[1] He later taught criminal law at the University, and is co-author of five books and over 20 academic papers on topics of criminal, judicial and procedural law.[1] In 2004, he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the Universidad Escuela Libre de Derecho ('University Free School of Law') of Costa Rica.[1][2]

Dall'Anese became Attorney-General of Costa Rica in 2003.[1] In this position, he led efforts against narco-trafficking, organised crime and corruption,[1] including investigations of two former presidents.[3]

In 2005, the National Values Commission awarded Dall'Anese the National Values Prize in recognition of his actions to combat organised crime.[1] He served as alternate magistrate in the Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica and, as of 2010, is President pro tempore of the Central American Public Ministries Council.[1]

On 30 June 2010, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon named Dall'Anese as Carlos Castresana's replacement as chief of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG).[4][5]
