After the 2021 amendments (Lei 14.230/2021) to the Administrative Improbity Act (Lei 8.429/1992), administrative misconduct under that law generally requires:

1. Dolo (intent): unlawful advantage or harm caused intentionally, with knowledge of the illicit character
2. Mere severe negligence (culpa grave) in any administrative act
3. Any mistake in applying internal regulations, regardless of intent
4. Strict liability: the result alone suffices, even without intent or knowledge
