Can my company be criminally convicted? Crimes a corporation can commit
Companies can be criminally responsible for crimes committed by directors or employees for their benefit, especially if proper control has not been exercised. To avoid this, they must implement a compliance model with preventive and oversight measures. They are only liable for certain crimes established by law.
Exempting circumstances from criminal liability
The Criminal Code includes exonerating circumstances that can eliminate criminal liability for someone who commits a crime, such as being a minor, mental disorders, intoxication, overwhelming fear, or justifying causes like self-defense or fulfilling a duty, provided certain conditions are met and the judge approves it.
Defense in driving under the influence of alcohol
Alcohol-related offenses in traffic accidents carry penalties such as imprisonment, fines, community service, and the suspension of the driver’s license for 1 to 4 years. Refusing to take the test can lead to a charge of disobedience. If the blood or breath alcohol limit is exceeded, the process becomes complicated, but the test must meet legal guarantees, such as informing about the right to a second test. Even with a low result, the officer may decide to take the case to trial.
Can I go to prison without being convicted?
Pretrial detention allows a person to be imprisoned without being convicted, as long as certain legal requirements are met. It is an exceptional precautionary measure that must be justified and respect the fundamental rights of the individual under investigation.
