Abstract: Corruption is a complex social economic phenomenon commonly found in all governments of the world, threatening democracy and the market economy, the supremacy of justice and social equity. Applying policies of ethics, integrity and transparency in public policies and civil servants' behavior may be the solution to reduce this phenomenon. The most serious consequence of corruption is the illegal redistribution of resources in society, as some social groups win and others lose. The practice of corruption offers immediate benefits to the corrupt ones and endangers the welfare of the population in the long run, undermining the trust of the society in the public authorities and the efficiency of the functioning of the democratic institutions of a rule of law.
