Abstract

Corruption has acquired an exorbitant scale in the last years. Due to this fact, the traditional criminal policy against corruption is not effective. This paper offers a new response to combat corruption taking into account its new reality, primarily characterised by the internationality and the relationships with other criminal activities such as economic crime, money laundering and organised crime. The new response should not focus on the so-called symbolic criminal law, but on preventive policies such as the generalised transparency and the use of other branches of the legal system.
