Abstract
The possibility of a superluminal (namely, faster than c) propagation of quantum particles is discussed in the context of the Klein-Gordon e quation. It is found that physical conditions exist, univocally fixing the integration path in the inverse Fourier transform representing th e wave packet. This path excludes at all superluminal components.
