Teacher's information
Course Description:

The course will explore white collar crimes and corporate misconduct and the application of Czech, European and US law to them. A white collar crime is generally understood to mean the types of crimes committed by executives at a company or a governmental body. White-collar crimes include embezzlement, bribery, anti-trust violations, securities fraud, theft of trade secrets, environmental pollution, and the like. This course will focus on the elements of particular types of white-collar crimes with a special emphasis on bribery. We will examine the bribery statutes of the Czech Republic and the anti-bribery provisions of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”).
