Annotatsiya

The article offers a criminal-law analysis of digital bribery—the transfer of illicit benefits via cryptocurrencies, encrypted channels and anonymous online platforms. The study aims to identify the legal specificities of this phenomenon, reveal regulatory gaps in Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code and develop evidence-based reform proposals. Methods combine comparative analysis of legislation in Japan, South Korea, Germany and France, content analysis of FATF and OECD reports, and elements of blockchain forensics. Findings show that existing Articles 210–212 of the Uzbek Criminal Code do not explicitly cover digital assets, complicating qualification and proof. The authors propose creating a separate offence of “bribe using digital assets”, strengthening oversight of crypto-service providers and establishing specialised anti-corruption cyber units. These measures would enhance transparency in public processes, reduce impunity and align national law with international standards. The study enriches scholarly debate on how emerging technologies reshape corruption and provides policy makers with guidance for combating high-tech bribery.
