According to Article 12 of the CC, the person who committed the crime, acting in the interests of the legal entity of private law [3], because of lack of supervision or control by a legal entity should be prosecuted. That is interesting to note that according to Part. 1, Article 3 of the Criminal Code in cases expressly provided by law, a person can be convicted of a crime and punished also by a prosecutor who makes an injunction.
