CEOs should be held criminally liable to ensure accountability for their actions, especially when corporate decisions lead to harm, fraud, or significant legal violations. This accountability can deter unethical behavior and promote a culture of responsibility within organizations. Additionally, it reinforces the principle that no one is above the law, fostering trust among stakeholders, including employees, customers, and investors. Ultimately, criminal liability can encourage CEOs to prioritize ethical practices and corporate governance.
