Corporate criminal liability

¹ The criminal liability of businesses is governed by Articles 6 and 7 of the Federal Act of 22 March 1974 on Administrative Criminal Law (ACLA).

² If a fine not exceeding 50,000 francs is under consideration and if the identification of the perpetrators in accordance with Article 6 ACLA requires measures that would be disproportionate in view of the potential penalty, the authority may decide not to pursue these persons but instead to order the business to pay the fine (Art. 7 ACLA).
