The new offenses of false
corporate communications are in force since June 14, 2015 and in recent months they
have been the subject of conflicting judgments.
the active subjects are
always: directors, auditors, liquidators etc .. for the identification of the
conduct It has to distinguish among:
• Unlisted companies
• ungoing bankrutp Company
• Listed Companies
Unlisted companies:
the penalty is imprisonment
from one to five years and affects "the
conscious display of relevant material facts that are untrue or the omission of
relevant facts the disclosure of which is required by law on the economic,
asset or financial situation of the company or of the group to which it
belongs, so in fact capable of inducing others into error. "
It is therefore the Balance
Sheet, Income Statement, Notes and the various reports of directors, auditors
..
Ungoing bankrutp Company:
companies, that not having
exceeded the limits imposed by law, can not be declared bankrupt, are subject
to the crime of false accounting for false evaluation only after lawsuit and
imprisonment is from six months to three years. However it is excluding
criminal if valuation is mild.
Listed companies
Imprisonment is from three
to eight years. For this companies the crime is consumed with the display of
material facts that are untrue or the omission thereof. In this case the
material facts that are untrue may also be "not relevant"
As in recent months the
various sentences were dangerously different and conflicting (before excluded
from the false evaluation the false accounting and then deemed correct) March
31, 2016 will be held the hearing in the joined sections in order to (hopefully)
clarify the "false evaluative statements"
