Criminal law concerns all the rules that apply a criminal sanction which may consist of a sanction restricting personal freedom and/or a pecuniary sanction.
The law provides for types of crimes in many areas of business activity (for example with regard to safety at work, the environment, construction activities, taxation and customs regulations, money laundering, food hygiene ) or in sectors of another nature (for example crimes of mistreatment, "stalking", robbery, murder, criminal association or drug-related crimes).
The notification of a crime can immediately lead to the application of precautionary measures such as detention measures (for example detention in prison or house arrest) or interdictory measures (such as the ban on carrying out business activities or a profession ).
Finally, criminal law also affects entities that may be subject to an administrative challenge pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 for criminally illicit conduct contested against their legal representatives.
Whenever you are accused of a crime (or suspect that this may be taking place) it is advisable to promptly contact a lawyer in order to evaluate all aspects.
