Summary/Abstract: The interpretation of the elements of the offense of managerial corruption under Article 296 § 1 of the Criminal Code continues to raise numerous doubts. The most prominent problem is the interpretation of the statutorily undefined concept of an inadmissible preferential act, which in the literature is often treated as synonymous with the concept of an act of unfair competition. The article presents the results of historical-legal and dogmatic-legal research, the axis of which is to present the genesis of the regulation, summarize the current state of doctrinal discourse, and finally to signal the author's own position, which aligns with the economic approach to explaining the conditions for criminalizing managerial bribery.
