Abstract

One of the serious social phenomena, with a particular magnitude, with a varied and complex form, manifested up to the highest levels of society, is corruption. The mechanism for legal treatment of corruption in the public sector, established in the national laws of several countries, was based on international experience, accumulated in this field both globally and in Europe, and reflected in the adoption of major normative acts.
The evolution of corruption over time has demonstrated its complex and almost universal character, penetrating not only the spheres of state and public administration but also the economic and commercial sectors, credit-banking relations, the capital market, etc.
