Abstract :

The criminal liability of the companies exists in French criminal law and in Brazilian criminal law. In these legal systems, it has raised a number of dogmatic problems. These dogmatic problems could be summarized in the following question: how could we adapt the theory of infraction and the theory of criminal responsibility to the peculiarities of the companies? This question is the central point of this work which seeks to analyze the movement of harmonization between criminal law and companies. In this analysis, our study was divided into two parts. In the first part, we will analyze the adaptation movement that was carried out by criminal law, in the sense of adapting some concepts to the intangible nature of the company. In the second part, we will examine the creation movement that was conducted by criminal law, in order to create new legal concepts, which were designed especially for the companies
