Abstract

The article concerns the institutional counteracting of corruption among officials in the Second Republic of Poland, i.e. in the years 1918-1939. Organisational, supervisory and criminal law solutions for general prevention, as well as for prosecuting and punishing irregularities in this area, are all discussed. The main part of the text concerns the extraordinary anti-corruption criminal legislation in force in the first few years after independence, as well as the provisions of the 1932 Penal Code. The historical background, genesis, and effects of individual legal solutions are also presented.
