The Rada adopted a law on combating bribery of foreign officials

The Verkhovna Rada has adopted a law on strengthening liability for bribery of foreign officials during international business transactions. 247 people’s deputies voted for the document.

This was reported in the Verkhovna Rada. This is bill No. 15056.

The document is intended to bring Ukrainian legislation into line with the provisions of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. This is necessary for Ukraine to properly fulfill its international obligations in the field of combating corruption.

Accession to the Convention should also expand opportunities for cooperation with other states in investigating corruption crimes. In addition, the adoption of the law is one of the steps towards bringing Ukrainian legislation closer to the standards of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Union.
