What Is Bribery?

Bribery is a white-collar crime that involves offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value in exchange for an official action or decision. The “something of value” can be money, property, services, or anything else that has value. The “official action or decision” can be anything that is within the power of the recipient to grant or withhold.

Examples of bribery include:

  • A business owner giving a public official a large sum of money in exchange for a favorable zoning decision
  • A politician offering a judge a job in exchange for a favorable ruling
  • A police officer accepting a bribe to ignore a crime
  • A contractor giving a building inspector a gift in exchange for overlooking a code violation

It is important to note that bribery is a crime that involves two parties: the person offering the bribe and the person accepting it. Both parties can be charged with bribery, and both can face serious criminal penalties if convicted.
