Abstract

The article surveys the French laws on criminal liability of legal entities including a review of legal entities as subjects of criminal liability and the types of crimes, which can result in bringing of legal entities to criminal liability. The author notes that bringing of legal entities to criminal liability in France does not exonerate natural persons acting as executors or accomplices in the actions related to the criminal actions of legal entities. At the same time, legal entities can be brought to criminal liability together with natural persons or on a standalone basis (separately from any natural persons). The article gives statistic data and examples of bringing legal entities to criminal liability. The author concludes that the review of the issues of criminal liability of legal entities abroad is relevant for the modern Russian legal science and legal practice.
