Summary/Abstract: Topic of the analysis in the article is a relation between phenomenon of corruption toward law and moral. Author thesis is that presence of corruption in society depends on chances to realize law norms, e.g. on degree of real power of laws. At the same time this degree depends of how much is wide consensus on particular norms, wether they are justifible and acceptable, are they perceived as obligatory and in what degree people have trust that breaking of them will be sanctioned. On the other side, respect of the norms ddepends very much on the gap between declared law and its empirical application. If this is a case, then in society condemnation of corruption cases will rarely be condamned, and if there is any it will be as a rule be far below the degree asked for by the produced damage.
