Impacto sociojurídico de la corrupción, en Brasil

Abstract

Corruption is a topic of frequent mention in Latin American countries, to circumscribe the scope of this article, since these countries are not the only scenarios in which the phenomenon is a frequent protagonist of national life. This article addresses the issue, rather than corruption, of the treatment that has been the subject of recent years in Brazil and that, at the author's discretion, should be set as an example for other countries in the region, especially in Colombia, country that, for obvious reasons, occupies the attention of the author. A brief socio-legal analysis of the problem is made, in light of the regulations recently adopted in Brazil, in response to the impact of corruption in that country. The Anti-Corruption Law is mentioned especially, without paying attention to its criminal consequences, but emphasizing its socio-legal content, undoubtedly oriented not only to combat the phenomenon inside but also to the environment of the country, punishing those who, from the Brazilian interior, incur in corruption actions that affect other nations and project an ugly image of the policy and integrity of the Brazilian administration. A methodology was applied based on the descriptive study, with inductive, cross-sectional and qualitative methods. The analysis allowed to establish that the main impact of the Anti-Corruption Law is the awareness of the average citizen, about the need to apply the law when acts of corruption occur, regardless of who are to blame and their figuration in the political list from the country.
