Anti-Corruption Compliance
"What anti-corruption laws apply to businesses in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Turkey's anti-corruption framework includes Turkish Penal Code provisions and aligns with OECD Anti-Bribery Convention requirements for foreign businesses.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Bribery and related offences require a criminal-law assessment; an ordinary commercial contract does not authorise an improper payment. Risks can arise through agents, consultants and intermediaries as well as employees.
What to Check in Practice
Record the recipient, purpose, approval, invoice and actual service for each unusual payment. Escalate requests involving public officials or unexplained success fees before payment.
