Los Angeles Bribery Attorney
Bribery Cases
Bribery is an attempt to corruptly influence, by way of money, gift or some other benefit, the decisions and actions of a public official or someone otherwise required to act impartially. Bribery is a criminal offense for the person attempting to so influence the other, or the person accepting the bribe. It can involve:
- Public employees and executive officers
- California legislative officers
- Judicial officers and jurors
- Witnesses
- Public corporations and supervisors
- Commercial interests and agents
The type of personnel at which the bribe was aimed or by whom it was accepted has much to do with the determination of penalties. The level of penalty can also be influenced by the magnitude of the bribe, the extent of the operation, the specific intent of the bribe, and any criminal record of the defendant. It is possible for bribery to be charged as a felony and result in a lengthy prison sentence. As such, a bribery charge of any kind requires the expertise of an experienced
Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer.
