Abstract

In this paper are analyzed the multiple problems and challenges arose by the introduction of the new criminal liability system for legal persons, created by the LO 5/2010, with the intention of looking for an interpretation, which gives a safe ground to the system and also allows to respond to the necessities of criminal policy that those entities pose to the modern criminal law, without sacrificing in the attempt the guaranties that must be respected by any system of imputation of a true democratic State.
