Article 9
(Responsibility of legal entities)
1. Companies and other legal entities under private law shall be responsible for criminal offences committed by their organs or representatives in their name and in pursuance of their interests, unless the perpetrator is acting contrary to orders or instructions received from the legal entity in question.
2. In the case of an entity which has not been incorporated and does not possess its own independent legal status, any monetary penalties shall be imposed against the entity's net worth or, should it have no net worth or have insufficient net worth, against the net worth of each partner in it.
