Page "Political corruption" Paragraph 18
from
Wikipedia
A bribe is a payment given personally to a government official in exchange of his use of official powers.
Either may initiate the corrupt offering ; for example, a customs official may demand bribes to let through allowed ( or disallowed ) goods, or a smuggler might offer bribes to gain passage.
In some countries the culture of corruption extends to every aspect of public life, making it extremely difficult for individuals to stay in business without resorting to bribes.
In addition to using bribery for private financial gain, they are also used to intentionally and maliciously cause harm to another ( i. e. no financial incentive ).
