In the Laos section of Lex Mundi’s Anticorruption Compliance Guide , Dino Santaniello, head of Tilleke & Gibbins’ Vientiane office, contributes a Lao local perspective on anti-bribery and corruption legislation to shed light on the emerging country’s anticorruption framework. Dino’s complete responses provide a thorough understanding of, and pathway to, anticorruption compliance in Laos by breaking down to the two main pieces of legislation that address the subject matter: the Anti-Corruption Law No. 27/NA and the Penal Code No. 46/NA.
