The main act regulating anti-bribery and corrupt practices is the Criminal Code. In particular, the
Criminal Code provides criminal liability for the following types of offences:
bribe-taking by a state official (article 210);
giving a bribe to a state official (article 211);
intermediation in bribery (article 212);
giving a bribe to a public servant (article 213);
bribe-taking by a public servant (article 214);
commercial bribery (article 192-9); and
bribing a servant of a non-government entity (commercial or other wise) (article 192-10).
The government has also enacted Standard Rules of Ethics of Government
Employees approved by the
Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 62, dated 2 March 2016 (Rules of Ethics). The Rules of
Ethics prohibit government officials and public servants from receiving anything
of material value or
any other benefits in connection with performance of their duties, from individuals or legal entities. The
Rules of Ethics also provide major principles and rules of behaviour for government officials
and public
servants, as well as definitions of conflict of interest and liability for breach of the rules.
