Die strafrechtliche Verantwortlichkeit der Organmitglieder mit Kontrollbefugnissen einer Aktiengesellschaft

The growing importance of the supervisory board in Germany is associated with broader legal duties and increased liability risks for its members. The monograph comprehensively analyzes the prerequisites and boundaries of the criminal liability of supervisory board members, taking into consideration recent developments and practical questions in case of a breach of trust, criminal omissions as well as special offenses under German criminal law.
Furthermore the monograph formulates, based on a legal comparison to the criminal liability of non-executive board members within the Greek one-tier corporate governance system, general perspectives regarding the criminal liability of board members with supervisory powers.
