A corrupção no Brasil: um estudo acerca da impunidade dos agentes políticos.

Abstract

The practice of corruption made by Brazilian politicians have already grown to alarming proportions and, as result of this situation, there are social problems impossible of solving. However, as big as the corruption in politics are, the impunities of the politicians responsible for it, are even bigger, becoming a menace for the constituted powers and even to the whole Democratic State. In this monograph, we identify the main aspects that contribute to the impunity of the politicians who commit crimes against the law in Brazil. Since, on most cases, they are not held liable for their crimes. Mostly, when some of them are sued, the prosecution goes for many years until it becomes an injunction, only maintaining strong the feeling of impunity. For this, we made an analysis in the law of the possible sanctions applicable to politicians. As methodology to reach the aim proposed, we used a bibliographic research, using as approach the deduction based on historic facts, making comparisons and analyzing the legal exegesis. We based this bibliographic research on the doctrine that speaks about the main cases of corruption in Brazil, on the decisions made by the high courts, on the law and on a research from the National Court of Justice (CNJ) about the results of the legal actions on the crimes of corruption, money laundering and administrative misconduct. The relevance of this research is to instigate the critical sense of the Brazilian society and of the public power for them to discuss the best ways to fight the impunity. We could find that impunity does not happen for lack of laws to be applied, but for lack of effectiveness of the ones that already exist, and this is for some reasons that end to be better for the corrupts for their passivity and for the oversight of society for them. Mainly when related to social control over the politicians and the repartitions responsible for applying sanctions over them.
