  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.
