LIABILITY OF LEGAL PERSONS FOR CRIMINAL OFFENCES

Liability of a Legal Person for an Attempt
Article 127

(2) The legal person shall be punished equally as if it were for the completed criminal offence but may nevertheless be punished less severely.
(3) If the managerial or supervisory authorities of the legal person have prevented the perpetrator from completing the commenced criminal offence, the legal person may be released from punishment.

Continued Offence and Liability of Legal Person
Article 128

Where the same grounds for liability of the legal person exist in regard to several same-type and time-related criminal offences perpetrated by several perpetrators, such legal person shall be liable as if a single criminal offence has been perpetrated.

Complicity of Legal Persons
Article 129

(1) In the event that two or more legal persons are found to have partaken in the perpetration of a criminal offence, each shall be subject to liability pursuant to Article 124 (Basis of Liability of a Legal Person) of this Code.

(1) A legal person, whose managerial or supervisory authority has willingly reported on the perpetrator upon a criminal offence perpetrated, may be punished less severely.
