How to Defend Yourself Against the Accusation of Being a De Facto Administrator in Fraudulent Bankruptcy

Fraudulent bankruptcy is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences for those who are unjustly accused. In particular, being identified as a de facto administrator of a company involved in fraudulent bankruptcy can expose you to heavy legal and financial responsibilities.

Who is the De Facto Administrator?

A de facto administrator is a person who, although not formally appointed as an administrator, nonetheless exercises decision-making and managerial powers within a company. This figure can emerge in scenarios where management has been informally delegated or where there has been an abuse of power.

Evidence and Proof: How to Demonstrate Your Innocence

To effectively defend yourself against the accusation of being a de facto administrator, it is crucial to gather and present evidence that demonstrates your lack of involvement in the company's management. Here are some key steps:

• Company Documentation: Retrieve any documents that can demonstrate your actual position in the company, including contracts, minutes of meetings, and internal correspondence.
• Testimonies: Identify colleagues or collaborators who can confirm your lack of involvement in management.
• Financial Analysis: Have the financial flows examined by an expert to demonstrate that you did not personally benefit from the company's decisions.

Legal Strategies: Practical Advice

Dealing with an accusation of this type requires a well-planned legal strategy. Here are some practical suggestions:

"Consulting an experienced lawyer is the first step to building a solid and personalized defense."

• Context Analysis: Every case is unique; ensure that your lawyer thoroughly understands the business dynamics and the context in which the accusation occurred.
• Challenging the Evidence: Work with your attorney to review and, if possible, refute the evidence presented by the prosecution.
