On 11 June, Jones Day published an article saying that multinationals operating in Italy should develop and implement a compliance system in line with the requirements and standards provided for by a 2001 Decree following a recent Italian Supreme Court decision. The decision says that foreign companies can be liable for the “administrative” (quasi-criminal) liability under the Decree. Under the Decree, in a form of vicarious liability, when a company’s senior manager or an employee is sentenced for a crime within its scope, the court can also sanction the entity in whose interest, or for whose benefit, the crime was committed.
