Among the most significant changes are the categorization of corporate crimes, the creation of new offenses such as “Environmental Attacks,” and the strengthening of penalties. Companies must now enhance their crime prevention models to meet the higher standards required by the new law. Sanctions could include, in extreme cases, the dissolution of the legal entity.
This new legal framework requires companies to implement effective compliance policies and strengthen their internal measures to mitigate risks, adjusting their models to current legal demands. This represents a shift in the perception of corporate liability, as it positions legal entities as active participants in the commission of crimes, imposing new requirements for their control and criminal risk management.
