Senegal Corruption Report
Last updated:
Snapshot
Corruption poses moderate to high risks in most sectors in Senegal, with bribery and petty corruption being particularly common. Senegal’s anti-corruption law is primarily contained in the Penal Code (in French), which criminalizes extortion, active and passive bribery, bribing foreign officials and money laundering, as well as private-to-private corruption. The legal status of facilitation payments is unclear, but they are expected when doing business. The legal status and expectations concerning gifts and hospitality are also difficult to determine. Overall, a weak judiciary hinders enforcement of legal provisions.
