    Co­m­p­lia­n­ce ma­na­ge­me­nt sy­s­te­ms in Cze­ch cri­mi­nal law

    Czech criminal law enables legal entities to be exempted from criminal liability if the legal entity makes every effort reasonably required to prevent listed persons from committing crimes.

The compliance management system (CMS) represents an effective way to fulfil this. The CMS...

    Co­r­po­ra­te cri­mi­nal lia­bi­li­ty in the Cze­ch Re­pu­b­lic

    The Czech Act on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceedings Against Them covers criminal liability of legal entities in their own specific way. Corporate criminal liability applies to nearly all legal entities and to those individuals who work for them. Directors, management board members and employees place themselves and the companies in a high-risk situation if they are unaware of how their companies might be affected by the Act and what can be done to relieve the legal entity of criminal liability. Even though the Act came into force eleven years ago, many businesses either still...

    New bi­ll on the blo­ck(chain): The Eco­no­mic Cri­me and Co­r­po­ra­te Tra­n­s­pa­re­n­cy Bi­ll

The bill, the second economic crime bill of this year, is the most recent effort by the UK Government to tackle economic crime in the UK. This Law-Now focuses on the proposed reforms affecting cryptoassets, although the bill is broader in scope.

Dotychczasowa regulacja była rzadko stosowna (kilkanaście spraw rocznie) i orzekane były stosunkowo niskie kary (nieprzekraczające zwykle dziesiątek tysięcy złotych). Najważniejsze proponowane zmiany to: Drastyczne podwyższenie kar - kara pieniężna od 10.000 zł do 30.000.000 zł (zamiast maks. 5.000.000...

    New UK sanctions regulations have come into force imposing the most rigorous restriction on doing business with Russia since the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The twelfth amendment to the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 aims to “close off revenue streams that the Russian government could leverage” in order to “deepen…sanctions measures” and encourage Russia to “respect international law and the territorial integrity of sovereign nations”. It is now a criminal offence, imprisonable by a maximum term of seven years, for a UK citizen...
