Summary/Abstract: Legal persons may be involved sometimes in committing corruption offences, especially in commercial transactions, and in practice it is quite difficult to prosecute natural persons acting on behalf of a legal person, considering the size of companies and the complexity of their activity, and sometimes the corruption practices continue even after the application of deprivation of liberty sanctions to the members of its leadership, giving that the company is not affected by individual sanctions. This is the reason why it is appropriate to analyse the opportunity to incriminate some acts committed by legal persons as corruption offences.
