Brazil Enacts Long-Pending Anti-Corruption Legislation
November 25, 2013
Brazil's national government has taken long-awaited action in adopting sweeping anti-corruption legislation, a critical step in the ongoing battle against corruption and a direct answer to acute pressures mounting within Brazil and around the world. The new law, known as the “Clean Company Law,” is scheduled to take effect in January 2014 ' prior to Brazil's hosting of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics ' and will materially change Brazil's anti-corruption enforcement landscape.
The Clean Company Law establishes offenses and corresponding penalties for legal entities that engage in corruption or in fraudulent acts relating to public tenders and government contracts. In doing so, the new law helps fulfill Brazil's obligations under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Transactions (OECD Anti-Bribery Convention).
