The scope of this study is to analyze the institution of the Leniency Agreement, notably under the light of theAnticorruption Law provision (Law 12.846 of 2013)and theRegulatory Decree 8.420 of 2015. At first, the leniency agreement will be widely studied, mainly within the North American system to, simultaneously, investigate it in the contextof the Anticorruption law. Next, its possible (in) constitutionality will be refuted. Then, a parallel between Leniency Agreements and the dialogic Public Administration will be made, based on Habermas discursive theory. Finally, it will show that the Leniency Agreement constitutes a legitimate constitutional tool and, in addition, it configures as an effective consensual mechanism to fight corruption in a democratic soil.Downloads
