作为“严重”犯罪，腐败犯罪的时效期限超过《刑法》规定的其他犯罪（例 如，滥用权力、腐败做法、收受不正当好处和洗钱的时效期限为 20 年）。时效 期限始于犯罪实施之日，止于采取任何调查措施之日，但不包括罪犯主动出 逃。
As “serious” crimes, corruption-related offences carry longer periods of limitation than other CC offences (for example, 20 years for abuse of power, corrupt practices, acceptance of undue advantages and money-laundering). The period begins from the date of commission of the offence and is interrupted by any investigative steps, but not the self-imposed absence of the offender.
