O indevido recebimento ou oferta de vantagens e o direito desportivo

Abstract

The investigation that is now underway aims to analyze the crime of unduly receiving or offering an advantage, under the terms of the Penal Code and Law n.º 14/2024, of January 19, seeking to compare both. Due to the preponderance it assumes today, sport is duly legislated and regulated. And this preponderance comes from the participation of countless sports agents in various sports competitions, of the most diverse modalities. This participation is not just about that, but also the idea of making a profit. And because of the profitability inherent in it, the well-known phenomenon of sports corruption arises (a current, but not recent phenomenon in our society). In this way, we will try to analyze the most recent change in the sports sector - Law n.º 14/2024, of January 19 - in particular, the crime of unduly receiving or offering an advantage, which is one of the types of corruption crime (in its broadest sense) that is described in the sports legal system. However, for a better understanding of the subject, it is in our best interest to first look at the aspect of this legal type that is included in the Penal Code.
