Corruption is one of the main obstacles to social and economic development in Brazil. In recent years, numerous corruption schemes were revealed, involving public and private agents, which resulted in billionaire losses and severe impact to human rights.
Many of these scandals gained worldwide repercussion and influenced politics and the economy of several countries. During the Carwash Operation, it was hoped that Brazil would be able to achieve important institutional and legal advances in the fight against corruption. However, with the end of the mega-operation and with the recent political rearrangements, a wave of setbacks started to dismantle the legal and institutional anti-corruption framework the country took decades to develop.
Considering this context, the course “Anti-Corruption in Brazil” intends to present an overview of the country’s anti-corruption system, as well as its vulnerabilities and challenges. In addition, the classes will present how Brazil is placed in the International Anti-Corruption System, as well as the mechanisms available to public authorities for the investigation of corruption cases.
