39 mins confidence:
bribery Explanation: **Based on the definition you provided** both acts are just "bribery" in English. Black's Law - "bribe, a price, reward, gift, or *favor* bestowed or promised with a view to pervert the judgment of or influence the action of a person in a position of trust". (emphasis added) "bribery - The corrupt payment, receipt, or solicitation of a private favor for official action." But I would like to see an "official" definition under the German criminal code. |
