This academic paper intends to analyze and criticize the judicial action against improbity conduct, ruled by Act 8.429/92, specially the low effectiveness in punishing acts of corruption practiced by public officials in Brazil. The author try to demonstrate that the action doesn t work as expected when its approval by The Brazilian Congress, in 1992, because still remain a lot of political scandals in Brazil, causing serious damages to the treasury, without the responsible people being punished for it. A historical tolerance on corruption, special courts for public officials and the own formal and structural deficiencies of the legal text of Act 8.429/92 favour a state of impunity. The paper begins with a short analysis about the corruption phenomenon, specially its ideological substratum, theories, effects and means of combat in brazilian law. The author thinks that this analysis is fundamental to situate correctly the question in brazilian constitutional ordainment, due to the axiological tension in constitutional rules about punishing corruption . The author also discuss the important and polemic question of special courts for public officials, having in mind decisions from Supreme Court in Brazil to demonstrate that this prerogative is one of the most serious causes of impunity in Brazil. Completing the dissertation, the author analyses procedures aspects of the action, identifying defections like lacunas, obscurities and bad compositions in the legal text, that contribute in order to difficult the punishing of bad conduct by public officials in their functions. After all, the author concludes that the judicial action on improbity will only workout properly if judges and lawyers are ready to assume the compromise towards the fight against corruption, including the elimination of the special courts for public officials. Still he concludes that the legal procedure needs corrections, to make its interpretations easier for the judges when applying it
