Summary/Abstract: The effective counteraction to corporate crime is of extreme importance for any jurisdiction under the conditions of an increasing number of crimes committed with the participation of le- gal entities. Bulgaria has introduced administrative and criminal law responsibility for the criminal activity of those legal entities which have ben- efited from such. Unfortunately, the regulation re- mains poorly developed. The article gives a com- parative analysis of the regulation of corporate re- sponsibility for crimes in our country and in sev- eral other EU Member States. The study shows that, in spite of all the differences, the legislation of Italy, Slovenia and Rumania have a common feature - they are well developed and give a de- tailed regulation of substantive and procedural law aspects of the responsibility of legal entities. The conclusion contains proposals for further development of the operating regulation in Bulgaria.
