Chadimová, Tereza ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Title Corruption. English Abstract The rigorous work deals with the evaluation of the level of criminal substantive law and criminal procedural law with the greatest emphasis on the national level. The primary goal of this work is to find out how it is currently possible to face the corruption and whether the Czech legislation provides useful tools to help fight against the corruption. As the necessary prerequisite for the fight against the corruption is the prevention of the corruption, the detection of corruption practices and the need to punish enough the corruption, this rigorous work divides instruments of the fight against the corruption into three groups, first group is preventive instruments, second group is instruments of detection and third group is instruments of sanctions. The rigorous work deals with all of these groups of instruments when attention is paid both in general and also specifically on Czech criminal law. In order to assess the effectiveness of all instruments, the first criterion is a sufficient scale, which means whether the Czech legislation can punish all types of corruption, the second criterion is the ability to search for, secure and make available sufficient evidence, and the third criterion is the stringency of punishments. The introductory part deals with the definition of...

Fighting Corruption in Misuse of Financial Funds from European Union: Case Study Regional Operation Programme North-West (ROP Severozápad)
Frodlová, Ellen ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Kučera, František (referee)
This thesis is focusing on corruption and misuse of financial funds from European Union. It primarily analyses Regional Operation Programme North-West (ROP Severozápad), which ended with massive corruption affair. The affair lead to the suspension of payments from the European Union, change of assignment of projects in the next programme period, but also opened the question of current trends in corruption in the Czech Republic. The main aim of the thesis was to identify the most dangerous spots that lead to misuse of European funds, connect the corruption affair with current corruption trends in the Czech Republic and suggest basic activities that could prevent the misuse of European subsidies in the future. The aim was achieved via analysis of the operation programme, that ran through the years 2007-2013. It was discovered, that the system was purpose-built so that the local politicians could manipulate with the order of winning projects and thus unfairly distribute the financial funds from the European Union.
