WHAT IS A BRIBE?

The material values accepted by an official (items, money, services, other property benefits) for an action or inaction in the interests of the bribe–giver, which this person could not or should not have committed due to his official position, is a BRIBE.

The Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for two types of crimes related to bribes:

* receiving a bribe (Article 366);

* Bribery (Article 367).

The acts provided for in Articles 366 and 367 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan relate to corruption crimes.

Taking a bribe is one of the most dangerous official crimes, especially if it is committed by a group of persons or is accompanied by extortion, which consists in obtaining advantages and benefits by an official for legal or illegal actions (inaction).

Bribery is a crime aimed at inducing an official to commit legal or illegal actions (inaction), or to provide or receive any advantages in favor of the giver, including for general patronage or connivance in the service.

Bribery is the most dangerous corruption, official crime. It undermines the authority of the state apparatus, gives rise to the idea of the possibility of achieving the desired by bribing officials.
