Summary/Abstract: In this article I intend to analyze one of the most important acts of corruption in the interwar period that represented a threat to national security, „Skoda Affair.” The subject is the equipment of the Romanian army with upgraded, hi-tech weapons and ammunition, specific to the year 1930. The theme is particulary interesting as the mentioned acts of corruption involve the main political leaders of the time, especially the leaders of the National Peasant Party (PNȚ) and the National Liberal Party (PNL). The legal research on the discovery of some disciplinary, contravention or criminal offenses was executed, on the one hand by a parliamentary committee. Regarding the investigation carried out by the Military Prosecutor, it became informed after the inspection of the Bucharest tax authorities at the representative Skoda, coordinated by Bruno Szeletzky.
