Abstract

We present a model of an entrepreneur diverting some of the profits of the firm. Two types of sanctions are taken into account. First, criminal law defines a fine that the entrepreneur must pay to the authority. Second, civil law requires that the wronged agents who have suffered loses obtain compensation. We focus on the role of outside shareholders in suing the entrepreneur. We show that the first type of sanction does always not insure a decrease of diverted profits. So, the outside shareholders role should be privilegied.
