GODOI, Carlos Eduardo Gonçalves de. The Brazilian Legal-Criminal Treatment of Private Corruption from a Comparative Law Analysis. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.158, pp.685-731.  Epub 14-Jan-2022. ISSN 2448-4873.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484873e.2020.158.15633.

Although in Latin America there are various studies on the responsibility of public servants in both criminal and administrative spheres, as well as individuals linked to them, the issue of responsibilities for acts of corruption between individuals has been much less studied, and this The context reaches the legislative framework, since the classification of bribery is widely consolidated in national legislation, while the criminal classification of individuals who involve corruption still reaches few legal systems such as that of Brazil. This study aims to demonstrate the relevance of the criminal treatment of corruption in the private sector and highlight the distances between the Brazilian regulatory framework and that of other countries, even within a regional perspective, to stimulate debate on the subject and the possible solutions to the lack of regulation.
