CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF THE LEGAL PERSON
CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF THE LEGAL PERSON

Summary/Abstract: The legal person, with the exception of the state and the public authorities, is criminally liable for the crimes committed in the accomplishment of the activity object or in the interest or on behalf of the legal person. Public institutions are not criminally liable for the crimes committed in the exercise of an activity that cannot be the subject of the private domain. The criminal liability of the legal person does not exclude the criminal liability of the naturalperson who contributed to the commission of the same deed. The criminal liability of the legal person is direct and personal, which means that the eventual right of recourse of the legal person against the natural person who is responsible for committing the crime is exercisable on the basis of criminal civil liability. Pursuant to the principle of the territoriality of the criminal law, foreign legal persons who commit crimes on the Romanian territory will be criminally liable according to the Romanian criminal law.
