Corporate liability for corruption

Corruption committed by corporations has caused many regulatory reactions from several countries. Such within their national legislation, such as through international coordination, via treaties, States have sophisticated the legal instruments of direct punishment, on a transnational scale, of companies involved in illegal activity. Overcoming the difficulties and limitations of blaming only the individuals, this legislative wave questions the best legal techniques to identify the desirable parameters of conduct of business before the government. In line with the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, promoted by the OECD, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, of the United States, and the U.K. Bribery Act, Brazil published in 2013, his anti-corruption legislation. A sensitive point of Federal Law No. 12,846 / 13, namely, the objective liability of legal persons, deserved a study of Bruno Fernandes Dias, published by the Revista Fórum Administrativo.
