Administrative Responsibility of Legal Persons (Corporation) - Italian Legislative Decree 8 June 2001, n. 231


The legislative decree of 8 June 2001, n. 231 is an Italian law governing the administrative liability of legal persons and organizations.
This law introduces for the first time in Italy a form of liability for organizations (companies, companies, associations), for a list of crimes that can be committed by staff in favor or in the interest of the company itself (eg: corruption, environmental disaster, money laundering, false accounting and many others).

This responsibility is added to that of the natural person who materially committed the crime.
The law provides for sanctions for companies, as a legal person, that have not implemented the series of measures that prevent their employees from committing crimes in the interest of the company.
The sanctions are pecuniary in nature up to the closure of the activity in case of recidivism, and with the prohibition of contracting with the public administration as a precautionary measure.
