During the meetings items concerning the criminalization of participation in an organized criminal group (Article 5 of the Convention) and the liability of the legal persons (Article 10 of the Convention). The Working Group's recommendations on the criminalization of participation in an organized crime group (Article 5 of the Convention) and the liability of the legal person (Article 10 of the Convention) are also presented in the paper.
