A corrupção privada no direito penal brasileiroum exame sob a perspectiva do bem jurídico

Resumo

This paper analyzes the legitimacy of criminalizing private corruption in Brazil in light of the theory of legal goods. It departs from the premise that the global expansion of anti-corruption initiatives has driven the typification of private corruption offenses across several legal systems. Nevertheless, a significant heterogeneity was identified with respect to the protected legal good, sometimes associated with patrimony, sometimes with loyalty and functional integrity, and at other times with free and fair competition. The study argues that both the labororiented and competition-oriented models lack legitimacy: loyalty and integrity amount only to contractual duties and not to legal goods, while free and fair competition represents a spurious collective interest that cannot withstand the test of specificity. The research concludes that only the patrimony of the principal, within the triangular relationship among agent, principal, and client, provides a legitimate basis for criminalization. Accordingly, it is argued that the most appropriate normative path in Brazil consists in the construction of a qualified offense of patrimonial infidelity, capable of encompassing corruptive practices in the private sector and addressing the gap left by the absence of an autonomous typification of untreue.
