Criminal Compliance - Concepts and Implementation
0 - Default Title
Description
It examines the case of Novonor, formerly known as Odebrecht, which was embroiled in one of the largest corporate scandals in Latin America. This scandal extended beyond Brazil to countries like Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Ecuador, and Guatemala. Novonor is now striving to rebuild its legacy, which began in 1944, by adhering to new standards of conduct and corporate governance.
Through the lens of the Odebrecht case and other similar instances, this book underscores the significance of robust compliance programs that exceed the minimum regulatory standards. The impetus for adopting these programs is largely driven by U.S. and Brazilian regulators, aiming to prevent international corruption and serve as a powerful tool for deterring illicit activities, delineating responsibilities, and fostering positive corporate values.
In addition, this book addresses the importance of maintaining the ultima ratio principle of Criminal Law, ensuring that its fundamental liberal principles are upheld. This approach is crucial to avoid an overly expansive application of Criminal Law, which has proven to be both ineffective and selective.
