The Challenges We Have Faced in Brazil in Confronting Corruption
• Disseminate the idea that transparency is worth its inevitable
political price
• Ensure sound cooperation and proper relationships with other
institutions and the media
• Strike the proper balance between preventive and repressive
measures
• Stimulate social participation and public oversight
• Promote the engagement of the private sector
• Overcome deep-seated legal interpretations of the law that
hinder anti-corruption actions, such as bank secrecy, etc
• Reduce impunity and improve the judiciary system
