Guidance onIndirect Bribery

Guidance on indirect bribery refers to rules that clarify when someone can be held accountable for offering or giving benefits to influence a person’s actions, even if they don’t do it directly. This includes situations where a third party is used to pass bribes or influence decisions, such as paying an intermediary to sway a government official or company executive. The guidance aims to prevent corruption by ensuring that those involved in indirect arrangements are aware of their responsibilities and the circumstances under which they can face legal consequences. It promotes transparency and integrity in professional and public dealings.
