It was in a deposition situation and I did translate it as offerta di valvola di sicurezza, and I believe the deposee understood the significance but I wanted to know if there was a Italian euqivalent.

Explanation:
I think it's a term peculiar to US law. It's something like "circostanze attenuanti", restricted to drug and drug-related offences. Probably you can leave it in english and add a note.
Hope it helps
