Corporate Compliance, corporate criminal prevention, and money laundering
The introduction of a criminal liability regime for legal entities through the reform of the Criminal Code by Organic Law 5/2010, in force since December 23, 2010, has represented a fundamental paradigm shift in the field of corporate criminal law.
Through this reform, following the commission of a criminal act by administrators, legal representatives, executives, or employees of a company, both the individual who committed the crime and the legal entity itself may be held criminally liable. The entity may face penalties ranging from temporary suspension of activities to closure or dissolution of the company, as well as judicial intervention.
IN DIEM Abogados offers the following services:
• Diagnosis of criminal risks: detailed analysis of the company.
• Definition of the specific prevention method for each organization.
• Advice to the Compliance Officer, the position responsible for supervising and controlling compliance.
• External performance of the Compliance Officer role.
Led by prestigious jurists and academics, this service consists of adapting the business management model to the new requirements derived from the Criminal Code by designing crime prevention protocols that incorporate the necessary compliance measures to minimize these criminal risks.
