Criminal Liability of Legal Persons for Corruption Offences

Abstract

Corruption is not only limited to public people but also it includes some artificial personalities such as companies, institutions and associations. These entities can be tools of corruption directly or indirectly. That is why this aresponsibility for people about corruption crimes is regarded as a vital issue for research. Such issues are very important today due to the procedural and legal challenges which faced by the Libyan legitimizer when interrogating these entities about corruption crimes in terms of law, economy and politics. It is worth mentioning that regulations of questioning these entities are different from country to another. That is because some laws avoid such responsibility due to the independent law personality. On the other hand, regulations are improved in other countries including judgements and laws which incriminate the artificial personalities. Also, these countries impose punishments such as fines, restrictions, closure and dissolution.
