As a result, authorities have begun prosecuting conduct previously outside of the scope of classical Criminal Law. This evolution has led to the consolidation of Economic Criminal Law, encompassing crimes related to the environment, financial system, economic and tax order, capital markets, and intellectual property, as well as offenses such as unfair competition, cartels, and public procurement fraud.
