虽然有些与腐败有关的犯罪是在如第 19.913 号法律（洗钱问题）和第 20.393 号法律（法人的刑事责任问题）等其他法律中得到确立的，但大多受《刑法典》规范。特别是第五章述及公职人员在履行公务时所实施的犯罪，包括贿赂、贪污公款、欺诈和勒索等行为。
While some corruption-related offences are established in other laws, such as Law No. 19.913 (on money-laundering) and Law No. 20.393 (on criminal liability of legal persons), most are regulated by the Criminal Code. Chapter V, in particular, deals with offences committed by public officials in the exercise of their official
duties and includes acts of bribery, embezzlement of public funds, fraud and extortion.
