The study analyzes corruption offenses from a dual perspective - both synchronic and diachronic, based on the regulations of the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption. Thus, the crime of bribery is subject to discussion, emphasizing the novelty aspects regulated by the new Criminal Code, especially regarding the non-incrimination in the form of a crime distinct from bribery of receiving undue benefits and non-criminalization of bribery by non-rejection of the proposal from the old Criminal Code. Preventing and combating corruption as a whole, especially bribery, are not only desired, they are more than that, an urgent, first-rate necessity of human society.
