Law/Patents - Law (general) / ricorso
Italian term or phrase: preposti
Secondo voi, posso tradurre "preposti" con "executives"? La frase è:"poiché la Corte di Cassazione, con la sentenza n. xxxx del xx-xx-xx, ha riconosciuto, in relazione ai danni derivati all’integrità fisica dei lavoratori, la responsabilità di dirigenti e preposti della XXXX, imputati per i reati di cui agli artt. 81, 589, 590 cod.pen., analoga responsabilità deve ritenersi sussistente per i danni subiti dal sig. XY".
Grazie ancora!!

employees


Explanation:
This would depend on context. I believe preposto can also signify agent, representative or servant (according to de Franchis). I don't think that executives would be right.

managers and supervisors


Explanation:
You could translate: "Managers and supervisors(as Di Salvatore translated)", as the two positions are different regarding the amount of resposability in a company etc.
