Recital 15 (Omnibus) Respect for the ne bis in idem principle*

1The conduct covered by these prohibitions may also violate other law, including criminal law. 2The prohibitions do not preclude prosecution under such law. 3However, insofar as an infringement of the prohibitions may result in the imposition of penalties of a criminal nature, which may be laid down pursuant to Article 99(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, and to the extent that the same conduct is sanctioned under criminal law, including criminal law falling within the scope of Directives 2011/93/EU and (EU) 2024/1385, Member States are required to ensure respect for the ne bis in idem principle in accordance with the Charter.
