Other justices understand it is not possible to equate the death of an individual to a legal entity\u2019s extinction, arguing that this would only come to pass in cases of a company\u2019s dissolution and liquidation. They held that when a company is incorporated by another, it continues to exist through the entity of the acquiring company. Furthermore, they deem an acquisition to be a reversible act, thus, not comparable to the death of an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fonte: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conjur.com.br\/2022-ago-24\/incorporacao-extingue-punibilidade-empresa-condenada-penalmente\">ConJur<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 3rd&nbsp;Division of the Superior Court of Brazil (STJ), the absorption by merger of a company that had been accused of an environmental crime will lead to the extinction of its punishability.
