Summary/Abstract: In the suppression of competition law violations, criminal offense is becoming more common worldwide, especially since, in most cases, even very large fines do not appear sufficient to prevent the formation of cartels, especially the "benefits" of participants are high fines. From this perspective, even speaks of a possible "take the baton" by the criminal law in the fight with anticompetitive behavior. Besides competition law, although still predominantly contravention intensive use tools and concepts of criminal law, for example, unannounced inspection of the premises, using forensic methods and immunity from fines in cartel participants who denounce its existence, through the leniency policy.
