Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
The United Kingdom and the United States are the dominant jurisdictions in assessing the applicability and impact of corporate criminal liability in a criminal justice system. Hence the two Countries have been influencing the direction other jurisdictions are charting in determination of both applicability and approach to corporate criminal liability. This Paper is a two-route review of the approach in Nigeria with the position in the United Kingdom and the United States. Thus the review looks at the concepts as they apply to determination of corporate criminal liability in money laundering and terrorism financing prosecution in relation to Nigeria based on the approach in the United Kingdom and same review will be conducted in line with the position in the United States. The Paper will also review the current position in relation to determination and application of willful blindness as a substitute to the traditional mens rea in corporate criminal prosecution in the three jurisdictions.
