Legal persons, with the exception of the government agencies and their official departments and public entities and corporations, shall be criminally liable for crimes committed by their representatives, directors or agents acting in favour of or on behalf of them. No penalty shall be imposed on them other than a fine, confiscation and the criminal measures stipulated by law; however, if the law prescribes for the crime a principal penalty other than a fine, the penalty shall be limited to the fine, not exceeding five million (5,000,000) AED, unless the law stipulates otherwise. This, however, shall not prevent punishing the perpetrator personally with the penalties prescribed for the crime by law.
