Sobre la criminalización de los cárteles económicos en España.

2015, ARANZADI

Abstract

For this study which has been based on a more or less accepted view of price fixing, we analyze whether the behaviors normally considered as such may or may not constitute an offense under the present criminal code, for example: the offense of altering prices in competitions and public auctions, the crime of creating a deficiency of essential commodities in order to alter prices, the crime of personal or operational alteration of crime rates. They also establish a future progression of deliberations about the criminalization of companies that price fix. Along this same line we will have to examine whether it is necessary or not to prosecute companies that price fix, whether or not to establish specific criminal penalties as regulatory guidelines in the future are proposed. In any case, future regulation should not be over looked.
