Defendants: QC, Comida paralela 12
Article 38 of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC, read in conjunction with Article 8(2) of that directive, must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which, in the event of the unlawful introduction into the territory of a Member State of excise goods released for consumption in another Member State, makes a legal entity which is civilly liable for the criminal offences committed by its manager jointly and severally liable for the excise duties.
