| Title | Leniency Agreements for Corruption Control: A Case Study of the 2013 Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law |
| Summary | This research presents the results of an exploratory analysis of the Brazilian leniency agreements for corruption control, which the 2013 Anti-Corruption Law introduced. The structure of the Brazilian policy was analyzed, considering the mechanisms proposed by existing literature on leniency agreements for corruption in the economic field and the legal framework and context in which the leniency agreements were introduced. In summary, this study shows, based on information made available by the Office of the Comptroller General, that the 2013 Anti-Corruption Law, which established strict civil liability for legal entities involved in corrupt acts, as well as administrative fines, and allowed for the reduction of these penalties through leniency programs, led to significant amounts in restitutions for the Brazilian public administration. The study also suggests some scenarios in which similar policies might lead to positive results and recommends further exploring potential causal mechanisms uncovered by the analysis. |
