Modus Operandi of Corruption: Examining Drivers, Actors, and Financial Flows in Three Typologies

Fri, September 13, 2:00 to 3:15pm, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: 1st floor, Amphitheater 6 „Nicolae Basilescu”

Abstract

The paper analyses the new forms and modi operandi of three typologies of corruption: public procurement corruption, border corruption, and conflicts of interest involving politically exposed persons. Based on the qualitative analysis of 50 cases drawn from judicial records and open-source media, the study identifies the key drivers, actors, and assets associated with each type of offence. The research uncovers the operational strategies of the corrupt practices, including the flow of funds and the jurisdictions involved in both the illicit enrichment and money laundering processes. The paper contributes to the current understanding of corruption in criminological discourse, while providing insights for policymakers and law enforcement agencies to combat such illicit activities. The paper is based on work and preliminary research carried out as part of the EU co-funded project FALCON, "Fighting Corruption & Organised Crime".
