Cases and common offences
The standards of ‘general White-Collar Criminal Law’ can be found in the German Criminal Code (StgB); however, the ever-increasing number of additional offences in ‘Special White-Collar Criminal Law’ can be found in an almost unmanageable number of ancillary laws with or without reference to European Legal Requirements.
Commercial Criminal Law came to the attention of the general public through major proceedings following the collapse of commercial enterprises with delayed insolvency filings, major accounting fraud, global corruption payments totalling billions and also repeatedly through tax offences. All of these areas belong to the almost classic areas of commercial criminal Law, which require in-depth knowledge and specialisation.
However, offences relating to illegal employment by employers and breaches of Foreign Trade Law, e.g. sanctions, are also becoming increasingly important. Money laundering is currently a favourite area for governments (keyword: Money Laundering Law), as is the monitoring of banking transactions and the capital market.
All processes relating to the healthcare system are also of great importance. Medical Criminal Law is a consequence of the increasing regulation of this area, which covers treatment errors as well as billing errors in the form of billing fraud.
If we remember the Covid pandemic, the state responded with a plethora of new and extended sanctions, some of which related to the so-called state aid as a result of the lockdown measures ordered.
The plethora of new laws and regulations inevitably expands the spectrum of Commercial Criminal Law and increases the risk of unintentional criminal liability in business life: Data protection and trade secrets, compliance with supply chains, whistleblower protection, new protection regulations for employees – new sanctions for non-compliance with the new obligations always arise as a result.
If we think here of preventive protection against criminal prosecution and confiscation of assets, then we are immediately faced with the now unavoidable duty of compliance. Even in this ‘jungle’ of regulations, we can cut a path and provide sensible advice.
