GwG Seminar, SRO SAV/SNV, Olten
At a recent seminar organized by SRO SAV/SNV (Self-regulatory
organization of the Swiss attorneys and notaries association) in
Olten, Dr. Louis Frédéric Muskens delivered an
insightful presentation on the topics of corruption and corporate
criminal liability.
Dr. Muskens delved into the intricacies of both active and
passive bribery, as well as the granting and receiving of
advantages. He emphasized the extensive scope of these offences and
their connection to money laundering and corporate criminal
liability.
Dr. Muskens provided a thorough explanation of corporate
liability under Article 102 of the Swiss Criminal Code, elucidating
both forms of liabilities outlined in this provision. He also
discussed various organizational measures that companies can
implement to mitigate the risks associated with corporate criminal
liability, with a particular focus on money laundering and
corruption.
