    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between simple and fraudulent bankruptcy?
    Simple bankruptcy (art. 217 BL) concerns imprudent conduct or worsening of insolvency, with penalties from 6 months to 2 years. Fraudulent bankruptcy (art. 216 BL) concerns intentional diversion, concealment or falsification, with penalties from 3 to 10 years.
    Who can be accused of bankruptcy crimes?
    Individual entrepreneurs, administrators, liquidators, general managers and auditors of the bankrupt company can be investigated, as well as third-party accomplices.
    Is it possible to plea bargain for bankruptcy crimes?
    Yes, plea bargaining is possible for crimes with imprisonment not exceeding 5 years after reductions. For fraudulent bankruptcy, given the severity of penalties, an alternative defense strategy is often necessary.
    How long does a bankruptcy proceeding last?
    Bankruptcy crime proceedings can last from 3 to 7 years across three levels of judgment. The statute of limitations for fraudulent bankruptcy is 10 years, making timely defense essential.
    Does the Firm offer an initial assessment consultation?
    Yes, the Firm offers a no-obligation initial assessment consultation to analyze the situation and define the most appropriate defense strategy.
