Resumo: There is a widespread perception in Brazil that civil servants caught in corrupt practices are not punished. Yet, until now, there was no hard evidence that would support such claim and some argued that this was just a misleading perception due to the recent increase in anti-corruption measures. one of the main reasons for this notable absence is the difficulty of identifying actual cases of corruption to evaluate whether the agents are actually being punished by the judicial system or not. This article uses the brazilian triple responsibility system as a natural experiment to assess judicial system performance against corruption. our results show that in fact the brazilian judicial system is highly ineffective against corruption with a lower than 5% probability of conviction

NÃO OBSTANTE, ATÉ O MOMENTO, NÃO HÁ EVIDÊNCIAS EMPÍRICAS QUE APÓIEM ESSA AFIRMAÇÃO E MUITOS ARGUMENTAM QUE SE TRATA DE UMA PERCEPÇÃO EQUIVOCADA DECORRENTE DO AUMENTO DE MEDIDAS ANTICORRUPÇÃO. UMA DAS PRINCIPAIS RAZÕES PARA ESSA NOTÁVEL AUSÊNCIA É A GRANDE DIFICULDADE DE SE IDENTIFICAR CASOS COMPROVADOS DE CORRUPÇÃO PARA, ENTÃO, SE AVERIGUAR SE ELES FORAM OU NÃO PUNIDOS PELO SISTEMA JUDICIAL. ESTE ARTIGO USA O SISTEMA BRASILEIRO DE RESPONSABILIDADE TRÍPLICE COMO UM EXPERIMENTO NATURAL PARA MEDIR O DESEMPENHO DO SISTEMA JUDICIAL CONTRA CORRUPÇÃO. NOSSOS RESULTADOS MOSTRAM QUE O SISTEMA JUDICIAL BRASILEIRO É ALTAMENTE INEFICAZ NO COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO, SENDO A PROBABILIDADE DE SER PUNIDO MENOR DO QUE 5%Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2011-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/24041Revista Direito GV; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2011): Jan.-June (13); 075-098Revista Direito GV; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2011): jan.-jun.(13); 075-098Revista Direito GV; v. 7 n. 1 (2011): jan.-jun.(13); 075-0982317-6172reponame:Revista Direito GVinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/24041/22794Alencar, Carlos Higino Ribeiro deGico Júnior, Ivo Teixeirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-06T12:32:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/24041Revistahttps://direitosp.fgv.br/publicacoes/revista/revista-direito-gvPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revistadireitogv@fgv.br|| catarina.barbieri@fgv.br2317-61721808-2432opendoar:2019-11-06T12:32:10Revista Direito GV - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
