Criminal Liability Of Legal Persons For Customs Smuggling Offenses In Algerian Legislation And Comparative Law
Authors : Fellak Mourad . Lahmer Mouad .
Abstract
This paper undertakes an in-depth analysis of the criminal liability of legal persons with respect to customs smuggling violations in the context of Algerian law, supplmented by an in-depth comparative study of policies in France, the UK, and the US. The study charts the legislative developments in Algeria—most importantly the incorporation of liability of legal persons in the Penal Code and the amendments to the Code of Customs—whilst delving into the substantive and procedural conditions required to establish liability (theories of attribution, fault of organisations, evidential challenges) and evaluating the gamut of sanctions and remedial measures permissible. Sketches of comparative scenarios, including notable enforcement actions and jurisprudential developments in France, the UK, and the US, are drawn upon to distill conclusions intended to strengthen the enforcement apparatus of Algeria. The paper concludes with certain policy recommendations pertaining to clarification of statute, strengthening of investigation capacity, varied sanctions, and the promotion of in-house corporate compliance programmes.
