During the course, the most common predicate offences in business activity are analyzed, like corporate crimes, money laudering, or criminal negligence related with non-compliance with workplace safety regulations, as well as corporate crimes consisting of deviant acts in the relations with the public administration (also included in d. lgs. 231/2001), like, in the first place, corruption.
