- Name: Revamping Anticorruption Criminal Law – Strategies and Consequences: New approach to anti-corruption criminal law
- Project leader: Nadja Capus
- Hosting institution: University of Neuchâtel
- Source and type of funding: European Research Council (project number 864498)
- Duration: 2020-2025
- Short description: Transnational corporate corruption represents a rising criminal activity and a severe challenge for law enforcement prosecutors. Since 2000, anti-corruption norms have been increasing, leading to multi-jurisdictional criminal procedures due to the revamping of substantive criminal law, procedural criminal law and mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. Within this framework, a hybrid model of corporate criminal justice has emerged, leading to a non-transparent and exclusive form of conducting criminal justice. The EU-funded RevACLaw project aspires to provide an inclusive conceptual scheme for the study of revamping strategies leading to the hybrid corporate criminal justice model and assess the impacts of such a model. The project will focus on France, Switzerland, the UK and the USA, using an innovative interdisciplinary method.
