被动式影响力交易在《刑法典》第151 条下有规定（《公约》第十八条）。这一条规定促进或管理基于公职人员的实际或应有影响力的程序，但没有提到索取或接受不正当好处。主动式影响力交易没有规定，不过此类行为可以许多名目下加以惩罚。然而，就被动和主动影响力交易而论，关于犯罪的实施时间，则与《公约》描述的行为有所不同。
Passive trading in influence is provided for under article 151 of the Criminal Code (art. 18 of the Convention). This article regulates the promotion or management of proceedings based on the real or supposed influence of a public official but does not mention the solicitation or acceptance of an undue advantage. Active trading in influence is not regulated, although such conduct may be penalized under a number of headings. However, there is a difference, as regards both passive and active trading in influence, from the conduct described in the Convention in relation to the time when an offence is committed.
