Bribery is the most dangerous type of corruption crime. Its danger is due to the fact that it is often intertwined with the commission of other mercenary crimes.
Encroaching on the normal activity of the state apparatus, bribery also undermines their authority, discredits the authorities and administration, perverts the principles of legality, leads to violations of the principle of justice, infringes on the constitutional rights and interests of citizens, and hinders the implementation of socio-economic and political reforms in the country.
Bribery is one of the varieties of corruption. According to the new Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, liability for bribery is provided for by special provisions of the criminal law. The concept of "bribery" covers three independent crimes: receiving a bribe (Article 366 of the Criminal Code), giving a bribe (Article 367 of the Criminal Code) and mediation in bribery (Article 368 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
Responsibility for taking a bribe without taking into account the method of obtaining, the nature and public danger of the act is provided for in only one article, in Art. 366 of the Criminal Code. The essence of this composition lies in the receipt by the guilty person of the state apparatus of illegal remuneration for the performance (or failure to perform) certain actions in the service in the interests of the briber.
In the fight against bribery, an important role belongs to the improvement of criminal law, increasing the efficiency of their application. Based on the results of our theoretical study of the problems of criminal liability for taking a bribe in the Republic of Kazakhstan, it was established that, by the time the bribe was given, by the nature of the acts carried out for the bribe, the taking of a bribe is divided into the following types: bribe - reward; bribe - bribery; accepting a bribe for a position; solicitation of a bribe.
