What is unfair administration?

Disloyal administration is typified in Article 252 of the Criminal Code and consists of acting to the detriment of the assets being administered, abusing the powers conferred. It is a crime against the patrimony, frequent in the business or corporate sphere or in the management of other people's accounts.

This crime is usually committed by a person who, having power of administration over the assets of others (such as an attorney-in-fact, administrator or partner), makes decisions that are detrimental to the owner of the assets or the company, acting disloyally or in breach of his or her management duties.

Common cases of unfair administration

  • Diversion of funds in a company by a partner or administrator.
  • Unauthorized economic operations that harm a community or society.
  • Fraudulent management of other people's accounts or family assets.
  • Abuse of office in associations, cooperatives or foundations.

What is the penalty for unfair administration?

Penalties for unfair administration vary according to the economic damage caused, but may include:

  • Imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years.
  • Fine of 6 to 12 months.
  • Disqualification to administer the assets of others or to hold corporate positions.

In addition, if the offense has been committed within a company, it may entail additional liabilities under the Capital Companies Act.
