This research aims to explore the concept of juridical persons and the penalties that can be imposed on them. It is divided into three sections: the first details the definition of juridical persons and applicable penalties; the second discusses jurisprudential discrepancies regarding the criminal responsibility of juridical persons, highlighting the division between supporters and opponents; the third section is dedicated to the nature of criminal liability for juridical persons, distinguishing between direct and indirect criminal responsibilities. The study concludes that attributing responsibility to juridical persons for actions carried out by their officials is crucial for protecting rights and emphasizes the necessity of imposing stricter penalties on juridical persons committing crimes affecting a large part of society.
