The bill on the prevention and fight against assimilated offenses was adopted on January 24 by the Senate and the National Assembly. This legislation aims to provide the Republic of Congo with an effective legal arsenal in this area.

A new law has just been added to Congo's legal arsenal against corruption. At the national level, the country has adopted several laws and regulations in force, including the mechanism for the repression of corruption by the adoption of law n°5-2009 of September 22, 2009 on embezzlement, fraud and similar offences. The new law adopted has the advantage of being more in line with CEMAC community law, the regional law of the African Union and the requirements of the United Nations. It also brings a few innovations, including new provisions for the prevention of corruption and similar offences; the appropriate mechanisms for international cooperation in the recovery of assets and the exchange of information required by the transnationalization of corruption and related offences.
