A lei anticorrupção e o acordo de leniência

Abstract

The scope of this academic article is to research the leniency agreement in the Anti-Corruption Law regarding its economic aspects, advantages and disadvantages for the State and the agreement, through a qualitative approach, using, as a primary method, the deductive and, as a procedure, the bibliographic one. The study is justified by the need to work on negotiating instruments to be applied by the Public Administration so that excessive and unjustified expenses with prosecution aimed at sanctions can be avoided, especially in the economic sphere. It was concluded that, despite its advantages, one of the improvements necessary for the effectiveness of the leniency agreement must be the guarantee that the person agreeing will not suffer another legal-state persecution, be it criminal, civil or sanctioning administrative law.
