Summary/Abstract: Law on Enforcement of Penal Sanctions was significantly changed in 2009. Legal innovations have introduced a possibility of execution of prison sentence at home and a measure of home detention. Also, the two new statutes have been enacted: Law on the Liability of Legal Persons for criminal offences and Law on Serving prison sentence for organized crime. While in the first statute penal sanctions for legal persons and provisions for their execution are defined in the usual manner with possibility to impose the following sanctions: fine, measure of termination of legal persons and two security measures (prohibition to engage in certain activities and pronouncement of verdict), the second statute solutions can be critized for many reasons. First, denomination of the Law is not adequate because its provisions also apply on offenders convicted for crimes such as terrorism, genocide, war crimes, serious violations of international criminal law as well as for helping these offenders.
