For more information regarding the EPPO, please visit our European Public Prosecutor’s Office – EPPO page.

Key takeaways:

• The EPPO will have jurisdiction to pursue companies for offences affecting the European Union’s financial interests, although important aspects relevant to the scope of corporate liability will require clarification.
• Companies held liable in proceedings handled by the EPPO will be sentenced according to the sentencing regime applicable in the Member State where the case is brought.
• Key areas relevant to the EPPO regime for corporate actors that will likely require further clarification are the EPPO’s approach to co-operating companies as well as how it will manage differences among Member States in the procedural status of the corporate victim and the availability of non-conviction resolutions.
