Depending on the gravity of the crime committed, the number of offenders involved, and the value of assets illegally provided or obtained, the criminal legislation of Turkmenistan envisages the following sanctions for the commission of corruption-related offenses:
The punishment established by the Criminal Code of Turkmenistan includes:
Criminal liability may only be imposed on individuals, including foreign citizens. Please note that Code of Administrative Offences does not regulate any of the corruption matters.
However, it should be mentioned that in 2005 Turkmenistan has ratified the United Nations Convention against Transnational organized crimes, which regulates and specifies the liability of the legal persons.
In accordance with the Law of Turkmenistan “About the normative legal acts” the International agreement prevails over the local legislation in case of the contradiction between such legal acts.
