Crime in the company: problems of authorship and participation in common crimes

Abstract

During the last years, criminal theorists have discussed on the liability of the members of the board of directors of a company, by the offences they orderd and that were commited by subordinates. The proposed answers, that cross all the possible forms of attribution, are not always dogmatically satisfactory in a determined set of laws. In this paper, they all are analyzed: mediate responsibility, coresponsibility, induction and accessory responsibility.
