The subject of the article is the analysis of three main aspects of the fight against corruption: the prevention of corruption, the fight against corruption and minimizing the consequences of corruption offenses. Separate gaps in the legislation affecting the effectiveness of anti-corruption, mechanisms of interaction between government, business and society, which have as their goal the prevention of corruption, are examined. The role of civil society institutions in the fight against corruption, as well as the influence of the media on the perception of the image of a corrupt official, is examined. The problem of criminalizing the liability of legal entities for corruption offenses, the problem of applying such a criminal law measure as confiscation of the property of a corrupt official are touched upon. Briefly discussed are the possibilities of transferring to the legal field some aspects of corruption in the form of organizing lobbying activities. The authors also consider aspects of minimizing the social consequences of corruption.
