Bankruptcy crime: preventing and combating pre-bankruptcy crime

Abstract

This article aims to explore the legal foundations of bankruptcy crime, investigating its legal definitions, socioeconomic implications and the challenges faced by authorities in preventing and repressing these crimes. The study aims not only to increase understanding of the legal mechanisms involved, but also to propose reflections on how law enforcement can be improved to promote more ethical and responsible business management. Analysis of the legal foundations of bankruptcy crime reveals a complex intersection between business practices, legal regulations and judicial accountability. The cases studied highlight the diversity of approaches adopted by jurisdictions in preventing and punishing these crimes, highlighting the importance of robust legislation and efficient supervision. Reflection on improvements in law enforcement suggests that initiatives that promote greater transparency, corporate governance and education on business ethics are crucial to mitigating the risks associated with bankruptcy crime. In this way, not only the integrity of the economic system can be strengthened, but also public trust in business institutions, contributing to more ethical and responsible business management on the global stage.
