It is possible to bring a bribe taker to clean water by means of a timely appeal to law enforcement agencies, subsequent participation in a special operation to obtain evidence. At the same time, one should not be afraid of being prosecuted for giving a bribe.
Receiving and extorting a bribe is a criminal offense, which is quite common among modern officials and other officials. Often people who are extorting a bribe for certain actions and decisions are afraid to apply to law enforcement agencies, since they remember that they are responsible not only for receiving a bribe, but also for giving it. At the same time, the punishment for both crimes is rather severe, since one of the alternatively established types of liability is the appointment of a fine, the amount of which is determined by multiplying the amount of the bribe by 20-40 times or more.
What is the threat when contacting law enforcement agencies after giving a bribe?
In fact, a person from whom a bribe is extorted is exempted from criminal liability if, in the course of a criminal case, the fact of extortion by the recipient of the bribe is revealed. In addition, one should take into account the unconditional release from responsibility of the person who gave a bribe in the event that he applies to law enforcement agencies and reports a crime.
At the same time, such treatment is counted as a basis for exemption from punishment at any time, including the period immediately after giving a bribe. But when applying after the actual transfer of funds, it will be quite difficult to bring the bribe taker to clean water, since the investigation simply will not have any other evidence of extortion or receipt of a bribe, except for the testimony of the person who gave it.
What to do after contacting law enforcement agencies?
After contacting the law enforcement agencies with an application for a specific person who extorts or tries to receive a bribe, it is necessary to assist the officials of the investigative and operational bodies in solving this crime. Often the applicant is asked to participate in a test transfer of the marked bills to the bribe-taker for his red-handed arrest. If it is necessary to guarantee that the bribe-taker is exposed to clean water, then you will have to agree to such participation.
As a result, the investigation will receive a serious set of evidence, in the presence of which the bribe-taker is guaranteed to be detained and convicted under the relevant article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It is much more difficult to collect sufficient evidence when transferring a bribe on his own, since the ability of an ordinary citizen to use special means is limited, and he also lacks the professional skills of an operational worker.
