Abstract

The purpose of this book chapter is to inform on the perception of anti-bribe practices in Colombian companies, on some aspects of bribe in Colombia, on the relationship between bribe and poverty, and to present the most shocking bribe case in Colombia. To achieve the objective, a literature review is carried out by selecting publications on bribes and corruption, in particular on the Odebrecht-Colombia case, and on the relationship between bribery and corruption. The process begins with the description of the phenomenon of bribes in general and the different types of bribes. Following, the relationship between bribery and poverty is established, and finally, the most shocking case of bribery in Colombia is presented. The results show that there are bribe practices in Colombia despite adopting different legal mechanisms. In Colombia, there is the need to continue adopting coercive measures, and to develop a culture from education to form law-abiding citizens for the benefit of society.
