Business Corruption in France
Corruption does not hinder business in France. The country's investment climate is very favourable, and there exists
a strong legal framework to counter corruption. Corruption is perceived to be a problem where business and politics overlap. Public procurement is the sector most affected by corruption. Cases involving i
llegal political funding have tainted the careers of several high-ranking French politicians.
The
Penal Code
(in French) criminalises
active
and
passive bribery
and bribery of national and foreign officials, and
gifts
and
facilitation payments
are criminal offences. Demands for irregular payments are very unlikely to occur in France.
