Sec. 5-5.
Accountability for conduct of corporation.
(a) A person is legally accountable for conduct which is an element of
an offense and which, in the name or in behalf of a corporation, he
performs or causes to be performed, to the same extent as if the conduct
were performed in his own name or behalf.
(b) An individual who has been convicted of an offense by reason of his
legal accountability for the conduct of a corporation is subject to the
punishment authorized by law for an individual upon conviction of such
offense, although only a lesser or different punishment is authorized for
the corporation.
