Fighting corruption is of great importance in the context of all nations’ quest to build a state of

law that adopts democracy and good governance as an indispensable approach to achieving

development and prosperity. Many countries have realized the significance of addressing the

corruption phenomenon as one of the priorities of their national policies, so they have enacted

legislation for combating corruption in its various forms through concluding bilateral and

multilateral agreements for this purpose. At the national level, Egypt was not isolated from these

trends and it built the modern national state, with combating corruption and maintaining public

money representing an integral part of its constitutional and legal system. Egypt also joined the

regional and international agreement frameworks related to combating corruption, and made

remarkable efforts and initiatives which reflected its strong will to combat corruption.
