Criminal Liability for Economic Crimes 

Corruption and bribery are the most common economic crimes. According to an international organization analyzing the level of corruption across various countries, Russia has discredited itself in corruption cases and  earned a bad ranking.


Rather recently, even major German companies have had to deal with the public prosecutor’s office. Trouble can be experienced in the case of a labour accident resulting in death, in case of tax evasion or money laundering, as well as under other circumstances.

 

In such cases, professional advice is crucial, as the treatment in Russian prisons can hardly be considered humane and foreign employees highly value an experienced attorney speaking their language.
