Das Verbot der Auslandsbestechung

Why do we criminalise foreign bribery? This question is of central importance for the legitimation and interpretation of relevant criminal offences in this respect. In this book, the author examines this issue from the perspectives of legal theory, legal history and comparative law, and provides a solution by virtue of a new form of structured legal reasoning. On this basis, the commonly discussed problems of section 335a of the German penal code, as well as sections 331–334 in connection with section 11, paragraph 1, number 2a of the German penal code can be resolved. In addition, the author suggests ways of clarifying the statute.
