Brazil

Moderate Enforcement level
24 Investigations opened

Brazil moderately enforces against companies bribing abroad. The country, which accounts for 1.1 per cent of global exports, opened 24 investigations and concluded 3 cases with sanctions.

The unending stream of corruption scandals unearthed by Operação Lava Jato has not prompted the much-needed structural reforms to the country’s political and judicial systems.

To make matters worse, recently, Brazil’s anti-corruption legal and institutional framework has suffered multiple setbacks, with President Bolsonaro interfering politically in virtually all anti-corruption agencies.
