Practice question
A corporation's workshop conceals a carnapped vehicle. Evidence identifies the manager who directly arranged the concealment, but establishes no participation by several other directors. The prosecutor says Section 4 automatically imprisons every director solely because of office. Which is correct?
- Every corporate title alone conclusively establishes personal guilt.
- Section 4 requires attention to direct participation by the officers or employees on whom its corporate penalty is imposed.
- Only the corporation may ever be punished, not a natural person.
- No concealment offense exists if a corporation owns the workshop.
- A director's unrelated shareholding necessarily proves concealment.
