Act # 12,846/2013, known as the “Anti-Corruption Act”, set up a new scenario with regard to the fight against corruption in Brazil. The Act states that legal entities involved in corrupt practices shall be held responsible both in administrative and civil spheres, being subject to penalties such as fines of up to 20% of the entity’s annual gross revenue, as well as to the obligation to repair the damage caused.
