Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the conviction of a sole shareholder for the crime of accounting offense. Although the defendant held no formal position on the company's board, the court found he exercised actual control over the company's affairs. The decision establishes that formal titles do not exempt individuals from criminal liability when they possess de facto decision-making power.
