Abstract

Criminal offenses in the area of commercial relationships, especially in recent years, pose a number of problems for public security and the efficient development of the economy. There is currently no common practice for identifying and qualifying them. Thus, there is a need to perform a detailed analysis of criminal offenses, committed during the management of capital companies, paying special attention to such aspects as the level of liability of a legal person, as well as the criminal liability of persons - management board members, for violations of law committed during the management of a legal person. In order to comply with the principles of international law regarding the criminal liability of legal persons and in order to harmonize legal norms, amendments to the Criminal Law of the Republic of Latvia were adopted. It gave a possibility to imply legal sanctions on legal entities. The adoption of these amendments strengthened the principles of equality, fairness and inevitability of punishment regarding to the criminal liability of legal persons.
