The Bribery Act 2010 provides the four main offences:
1. giving or offering a bribe
2. receiving or requesting a bribe
3. bribing a foreign public official (also known as facilitation payments)
4. negligently failing to prevent a bribe (corporate offence).
Under the Bribery Act, an offence has been committed even if no money or goods have been exchanged and a bribe has no minimum value.
Examples of bribery may include, but not limited to:
- offering a financial incentive to anyone involved in the running of PLAB to provide you with exam material before an exam
- offering a financial incentive to anyone involved in the running of PLAB to gain a pass in the exam
Individuals who commit bribery against the GMC may face criminal prosecution, civil action, disciplinary action and/or striking off (if the individual is a member). If found guilty of bribery, the individual may receive a ten-year custodial sentence and unlimited fines.
