O acordo de leniência da lei nº 12.846/2013 e sua relação com os princípios administrativos da moralidade, do interesse público e da legalidade

Abstract

The present thesis seeks to aproach the subject of the Leniency Agreement brought on by the Anticorruption Law and its implications when it comes to the principles of the Public Administration, specially the principles of morality, legality and public interest.. Leniency programs are a global tendency, and its major intent is to repress illicit acts detrimental to the Public Administration, its property, principles and commitments made before the international organisations. Although it’s seen by much as a glorification of the image of the whistleblower, and the decrease in sanctions granted to the legal persons proposing the agreement as a reward for its envolvement in the wrongdoings under investigation, the leniency agreement, employed as prescribed by law, is a means of shielding public morality and the public interest against further offences.
