Italian Corporate Liability Clarification

Summary

Article 2622 of the Italian Civil Code, addressing false corporate communications, is not universally absorbed into bankruptcy charges. The absorption depends on specific case circumstances. Article 25-quinquiesdecies, primarily concerning tax crimes, is mentioned to highlight changes in the legal framework affecting corporate liability. It does not directly deal with improper corporate bankruptcy but indicates an evolution in legal interpretation. Understanding these nuances is crucial for navigating corporate liability issues in Italy.

Italian law
In Italian law, Article * of the Civil Code addresses false corporate communications.
Regarding your question:
- Article * is not always absorbed into the crime of bankruptcy.
- It depends on the specific circumstances and the charges involved.
Would you like more detailed information on how these laws interact in specific cases?
For the principle that the crime charged to the natural person must correspond to the one called to act as a prerequisite for the liability of the legal person, see Cass. Pen., SS.UU., * March *, no. * (in a case, prior to the introduction of art. *-quinquiesdecies, Legislative Decree no. */*, in which, following the bankruptcy of a company and the subsequent indictment of the natural person for the crime of improper corporate bankruptcy, not then included in the catalogue of the so-called presupposed crimes, it was excluded that it was possible to continue to proceed against the legal person for the crimes referred to in arts. *, * and * of the Civil Code, originally charged and absorbed into the crime of bankruptcy). Why in this sentence they say originally charged and absored into the crime of bankruptcy?
In the sentence, "originally charged and absorbed into the crime of bankruptcy," they mean that the initial charges against the natural person were for the crimes listed in articles *, *, and * of the Civil Code. However, these charges were subsequently encompassed within a broader charge of improper corporate bankruptcy. Essentially, the specific charges (false corporate communications, false accounting, etc.) were merged into the larger charge of bankruptcy, making it the primary focus of the legal proceedings. This merger is why they state the specific crimes were "absorbed" into the crime of bankruptcy.
Ah they dont mean that * is always absored in crime of bankruptcy when they say originally absored?
Case Rating: *
No, when they say "originally charged and absorbed into the crime of bankruptcy," they don't mean that Article * is always absorbed into the crime of bankruptcy. It means that in that specific case, the charges under Article * were merged into a broader charge of bankruptcy. This doesn't apply universally to all cases.
