Abstract
With the expansion of globalization throughout the world during the
20th century, transnational bribery practices increased as more and
more nancial and commercial transactions were conducted across
borders. Transnational bribery refers to illegal payments to foreign
government ocials to obtain or retain business. In Latin America,
Brazil is the leading country in resolving transnational bribery cases,
having concluded several cases, including one with substantial penalties
in 2016. The study question focuses on the factors that may explain,

from a legal point of view, Brazil's performance in such resolution of
transnational bribery cases. The analysis of the resolution of cases in
Brazil shows that several main factors explain Brazil's success. In fact,
Brazilian authorities are involved in a coordinated resolution with other
authorities, such as the U.S. authorities. This was the scenario in some
well-known bribery cases, such as the Odebrecht and Petrobras cases.
In a coordinated resolution, the authorities justify their actions on their
own legal grounds, use tools to resolve cases without having to go to
trial, through negotiations, and create a nal agreement that allows the
ne paid by the legal entity to be divided among the countries involved.

funcionarios de gobiernos extranjeros para obtener o retener negocios.
En América Latina, Brasil es el país líder en la resolución de casos
de soborno trasnacional, habiendo concluido varios casos, incluido
uno con sanciones sustanciales en 2016. La pregunta del estudio se
centra en los factores que pueden explicar, desde un punto de vista
