(Received 16 April 1987; revised 6 August 1987)
In this paper we show that a group A is embedded in any finite group G as a subnormal subgroup with low degree of complication, provided that the automorphism group of A satisfies a condition depending on some Fitting class (which coincides with completeness for the Fittign class of all groups). A criterion is given for these groups as to whether they can be embedded subnormally in the commutator subgroup of some finite group or not.
