Criminalizes bribery and corruption in the public and private sectors with deterrent penalties.
Any official who requests or accepts a bribe to perform or abstain from an act is punished by imprisonment and a fine no less than the bribe's value.
Government bodies are required to apply transparency and integrity principles in all their transactions.
The bribe giver faces the same penalty as the receiver unless they report to the competent authorities.
Funds and property obtained from bribery are confiscated.
Gifts and offerings made to an official because of their position are considered prohibited forms of bribery.
Anyone who exploits their position for personal gain faces up to ten years imprisonment.
No exemption from punishment applies on grounds of ignorance of the law or that the bribe was customary or courteous.
Those who report bribery offenses are rewarded proportionally to the value of recovered funds.
Oversight bodies are obligated to investigate corruption reports within 30 days.
Penalties are doubled if the crime is committed by an official of leadership rank or in a sensitive facility.
