A Criminalização do Enriquecimento Ilícito no Ordenamento Jurídico Brasileiro

Abstract

This scientific study deals with the criminalization of illicit enrichment in the Brazilian legal system. It is crucial to understand that the criminalization of illicit enrichment originated from normative instruments and international agreements that serve as guidelines for States Parties. These international agreements play a fundamental role in the formulation of laws and policies to combat illicit enrichment in each country, including Brazil, where the question is whether the criminalization of illicit enrichment is constitutional or unconstitutional. In this sense, this dissertation is an enlightening tool, as it addresses this issue. Thus, the main objective of the research is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the criminalization of illicit enrichment, under various aspects and doctrinal positions, especially in the Brazilian legal system. This is a topic of crucial importance, which not only permeates the national sphere, but also transcends borders, echoing on the international stage and in foreign law. To this end, in order to fully understand this issue, bibliographical research was used, based on a literature review of primary and secondary source doctrines, as well as exploring the constitutional and infra-constitutional laws that provided the basis for the development of the research. The analysis of these sources showed that much still needs to be done and debated in order to reach a consensus on the criminalization of illicit enrichment.
