[Lawyer’s Perspective] All About Commercial Opportunity-Based Bribery in Official Crime Cases
A few days ago, I attended a rule-of-law forum on the criminal governance of bribery offenses. The forum featured high-quality discussions on several new types of covert bribery crimes. In particular, the issue of opportunity-based bribery drew intense and even heated exchanges among renowned scholars and practitioners who participated in the forum—exchanges that left a deep impression. While there was some consensus on certain issues, significant—and sometimes substantial—disagreements also emerged. As a result, I’ve been prompted to reflect anew on this topic. Overall, I believe it’s quite challenging to establish the existence of opportunity-based bribery. The current view held by practitioners—that such bribery can indeed be established—faces numerous theoretical and logical obstacles.
