The Importance of the Will of the Individual in the Bribery

The reason for the damage to the administration in the case of crimes against public administration is generally the abuse of authority or influence of the public official representing the administration. As a result of abuse of authority and influence, crimes against public administration are classified as bribery and extortion. The main factor that separates the bribery from the extortion is the free will of the individual who gives unfair advantage to the public official. In the bribery crime, the unjust benefit should be provided to the public official with the consent of the individual, the agreement should be based on the free will of the individual, the will should not be misled. When the individual realizes that the results of the agreement are not appropriate for him / her, the individual must be able to refuse the agreement or accept it for himself / herself when appropriate. Therefore, the will of the individual must be completely open.
