%X This study examines Mozambican citizens¡¯ positions regarding corruption amnesty laws. A series of realistic vignettes was presented to 303 Mozambican adults who were asked to rate the extent to which amnesty applicants deserved to be amnestied, according to three factors: (a) the applicant¡¯s status (e.g. former minister), (b) the amount of money embezzled, and (c) the applicant¡¯s attitude during the hearing (e.g. revelation of important information). Three qualitatively different positions were found. For 30%, officials convicted of corruption would never deserve to be amnestied. For 28%, repentant attitude was the only determinant of acceptability, and for 42% the amount of money embezzled also mattered
