Aspectos controversos do dolo específico na improbidade administrativa: Análise da captura legislativa no poder sancionador

Abstract

This article aims to examine the effectiveness of the Law of Administrative Improbity's reform, especially regarding the requirement of specific intent as a criterion for categorizing improper conduct. Consequently, it questions whether Law No. 14,230/2021 constitutes a scenario of normative regression detrimental to holding public officials accountable for committing wrongful acts. This is an exploratory legal research based on bibliographic and interdisciplinary studies, adopting as a theoretical landmark the ideas put forth by David Moss and Daniel Carpenter (2014). It assumes the premise that the changes introduced in the subjective liability for condemnatory purposes of acts of impropriety correspond to a form of legislative capture, resulting in a flexibilizing effect on punitive power.
