Summary/Abstract: The purpose of our study is to compare the German and Hungarian regulations relating to insolvency-related offences, including bankruptcy offences, to introduce the relevant German regulations, and to highlight their major differences from Hungarian regulations.A comparison of the Hungarian and German criminal regulations seems expedient – apart from the fact that the legal systems under review belong to the same law group and represent the same “legal style” –, all the more so because the structures of these criminal regulations are largely identical, so an opportunity presents itself to compare the individual factors of crime. Allowing for codification in Hungary, our study of the German legal system, which is often quoted herein by way of example, becomes particularly timely.
