Criminal liability with respect to consumer protection laws

Criminal law AND consumer protection

The concern for better consumer protection has led to the criminalization of behaviors likely to deceive or endanger consumers.

An administrative investigation conducted by the Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) may be accompanied by proceedings initiated by the Public Prosecutor, thereby increasing the penalties incurred.

The combination of a criminal lawyer and a lawyer specializing in competition law may prove relevant depending on the complexity of the case.
