Agreement To Postpone Criminal Proceedings For Legal Entities -a Study In Light Of Law 25/14 Containing The Code Of Criminal Procedure-
Authors : Benabid Sihem .
Abstract
The Algerian legislator has kept pace with modern criminal policy by introducing a provision for the postponement of criminal proceedings against legal entities under Law 25/14. This provision allows the Public Prosecutor to suspend criminal proceedings against a legal entity if it fulfills the obligations stipulated therein. This measure balances, on the one hand, the requirements of deterrence and crime prevention by recovering embezzled funds and paying all amounts owed to the public treasury, and on the other hand, it protects the economy by ensuring the continuity and financial stability of the legal entity without resorting to the application of traditional penalties. Despite the importance of this measure in strengthening criminal justice, its novelty means that evaluating its effectiveness depends on the availability of implementation mechanisms and the cooperation of legal entities involved in corruption, economic, and financial crimes.
