As criminal prosecution increased in recent years, Criminal Law has started to have a more direct impact on companies and on the decision-making process of their management.
Parallel to this trend, globalization and the advancement of technology have highly contributed to the increased legal cooperation in criminal matters, resulting in the possible involvement of different jurisdictions to investigate the same case.
