What is the period of limitation in civil proceedings resulting
from criminal offences?
The period of limitation is three years from the moment the injured
party gained knowledge of the damage or the liable party. In any
case, the period of limitation ends five years after the day when
the damage occurred. However, if the period of limitation in criminal
proceedings is longer than the period of limitation in civil proceedings,
the period of limitation in civil proceedings shall expire upon the
expiration of the limitation period in the criminal proceedings.

Is management obliged to report offences committed within
the corporation to the authorities?
Under Article 304 of the Criminal Code, an official person or a responsible
person who fails to report a criminal offence that they
have discovered in the exercise of their duties shall be punished
by imprisonment of up to three years, if such offence is punishable
by imprisonment of at least three years and is prosecuted ex officio.
The term “responsible person” means an individual in a business
organisation or legal entity who because of their function or
special authorisation is entrusted with duties that are related to the
implementation of the law or other provisions issued on the basis
of the law or the general rules of business organisations or other
legal entities in managing or administering property, or are related
to the management of production or other economic process or supervision
of such process.
