ACCEPTANCE OF BRIBES IN BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Abstract

In modern law, corruption (bribery) is not present only in the performance of official duties and public authorities of officials in state bodies, or in other public authorities. There are more and more cases of receiving and giving bribes in connection with the business operations of companies and other entities. Namely, here the responsible person requests, receives or receives a promise of gifts or other benefits in order to take or omit any action within the scope of his authority. In that way, a harmful consequence (usually of a property character) is caused for another natural or legal person. This paper talks about the concept, elements, characteristics and forms of bribery in business as one of the basic forms of corruption.
