Corruptive activities can result with certain economic consequences, to a larger or smaller extent. That is why even more authors research influence of the corruption to the inflation, investments, economic growth and development, quality of the infrastructure, foreign investments, education, health etc. The goal of the conducted research is to establish that the Croatian criminal code has not implemented economic consequences of the corruption as one of the important factors in conceiving the responsibility of the corruption perpetrator, but also for creating the priority in suppression of those corruptive activities that are most damaging for the Croatian economy. Although every form of the corruption is socially unacceptable, there are corruptive activities, that, directly or indirectly can have milder negative, or even certain positive economic influences, that should be mildly sanctioned by criminal code. Basic hypothesis of the research is that bodies of the legal prosecution should put higher weight in suppression of these corruption activities that cause larger damage to the Croatian economy, which will result in better perception of the public towards lowering of the corruption. Despite certain improvement of the institutional structure of the government bodies for the prosecution of the corruptive activities and introducing new legislative determinants, so far, the methods of the suppression of the corruption have not been efficient, which have had a negative influence on the Croatian public perception of the height of the corruption. Changing of the paradigm of the corruption suppression will at the same time result with certain positive economic effects.
