With the amendment of the Penal Law in 2012, the prosecution of legal entities in all crimes, especially environmental crimes, has become significantly easier for the authorities. Prior to this change, the possibility of holding a legal person liable for an environmental crime depended on the previous conviction of the person concerned (usually an employee or board member of the company) in a criminal court. Such trials often took too long and often failed to establish guilt and lead to convictions, making it impossible to hold the company responsible. Now, in order to hold a legal person liable for an environmental crime, such a previous conviction of an individual is no longer required. Therefore, the legislator considered that environmental crimes require faster prosecution of collective entities, regardless of the responsibility of their perpetrators - such as the members of the corporate bodies or their employees who committed the crime.Now, in order to hold a legal person liable for an environmental crime, such a previous conviction of an individual is no longer required.
