Means for the prosecution and repression of corruption

Abstract

The fight against corruption is one of the most topical issues in Economic Criminal Law. The proliferation in our society of legal actors of a public and private nature with an increasingly complex structure and organization, together with the process of internationalization of companies, are two key factors in the formation of a scenario conducive to corrupt activities. The aim of this paper is precisely to identify the advances and challenges faced by Criminal Law in this area through the study of different means of combating corruption. The results of this report are identified with the reflections presented and conclusions reached by the speakers at the International Congress «Means for the prosecution and repression of corruption», organized by the Criminal Law Department of the Carlos III University of Madrid which took place on 27 October 2022.
