INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL CRIMINAL LAW

International commercial criminal law is a legal branch that deals with offenses and criminal responsibilities arising from international trade relations. This legal field encompasses offenses such as corruption, fraud, and other criminal violations that may occur during the regulation and conduct of business activities between different countries.

Charges such as corruption, misappropriation, money laundering, and tax evasion have become a growing concern for the business world. In this regard, there are important points that companies need to consider when operating internationally.

Companies collaborate with business people operating in various countries to access foreign markets. However, acting without a proper understanding of the internal structure, legal framework, and local commercial rules carries significant risks. Particularly, directives from country or branch managers can lead companies to collaborate with inappropriate partners or intermediaries. Even if companies act in good faith, they can become involved in international criminal investigations due to incorrect choices of partners or intermediaries.

There is a widespread misconception about the crime of corruption. Contrary to common belief, corruption is not solely a crime directed at public officials. When a company shareholder diverts payments received in exchange for services from another company to their personal accounts, this action is often regarded as a tax offense. However, such improper behaviors by business partners can be deemed as private sector corruption under international criminal law and may be subject to criminal proceedings.
