Criminal sanctions and corruption. An approach from the perspective of business legitimacy

Abstract

In light of the exhaustion of fines as a traditional sanction for legal entities, it is necessary to reevaluate a penology for legal entities from a new perspective. The notion of corporate legitimacy presents a novel avenue through which to channel these sanctions. his is particularly pertinent in instances of corruption, where authentic redress of harm or a preventive effect are difficult to achieve is arduous to attain via mere economic criminal liability. A succinct reflection on these aspects is presented.
