This page outlines the foundational and consolidated legal instruments for regulating conduct in public and private spheres in Luxembourg: the baseline provisions of the Penal Code relating to corruption and related offences (notably chapter III articles 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 310, and 310-1) and the general status of public officials (the Law of 1679, notably articles 9, 10, 14, and 15). It identifies the early and evolving legal framework and ethical standards which aim to discourage and punish corrupt conduct.
