With the introduction of the Organic Law 5/2010, the Spanish legal system underwent a radical change, incorporating two sides to the criminal liability of legal entities.A) That of the perpetrator.
B) That of the legal entity for not having exercised due control, which could lead to issues such as economic and/or administrative sanctions, judicial intervention of the company, or damage to the public image, amongst others.
As such, every organization should ask itself what can be done to avoid such risks.
At Legal Compliance we foresee any issues through the implementation of a Regulatory Compliance Program (article 31 bis of the Criminal Code), so trying to avoid any crime being committed, and also the implementation of ethical legal compliance throughout the organization.
