This paper examines the legal mechanisms for invalidating civil law transactions arising from corruption, focusing on recent legislative developments and their practical implementation. The study analyzes the correlation between anti-corruption laws and civil code provisions concerning void and voidable transactions, with particular emphasis on public procurement, licensing, and property transactions. Statistical data from 2022-2024 reveals a significant increase in civil cases challenging the validity of corrupt transactions, with courts invalidating approximately 63% of such contested agreements. The research demonstrates that while legislative frameworks have been strengthened, procedural obstacles and enforcement challenges persist. The paper concludes that effective invalidation of corrupt transactions requires multi-faceted approaches combining administrative, criminal, and civil remedies, with recommendations for legislative reform to enhance the efficiency of civil law mechanisms in combating corruption.
