Economic Criminal Law and Tax Criminal Law
Commercial activities involve the risk of being confronted with criminal accusations.
Criminal law legislators are increasingly intervening in economic processes - criminal law became an instrument of economic policy long ago. More than ever, investigative authorities, district lawyer’s offices and courts are sensitized to illegal behavior in economic life. In the meantime, on a national level, numerous public prosecutors’ offices specializing in economic crime have been set up. Economic criminal law has recently developed into an independent legal discipline.
