Penalties for Corruption: Bribery of Public Officials

If you have been charged with a crime in Calgary, you should consult with a criminal defence lawyer in your area

Corruption Offences

Bribery of judicial officers, members of Parliament, and provincial legislature members is a serious crime in Canada. This includes corruptly accepting or offering money, valuable consideration, or employment in exchange for actions taken or omitted in their official capacity. It is considered an indictable offence and is punishable by a prison term of up to 14 years.

Bribery (Domestic)
Canada consistently ranks as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, but bribery of officials does occur and it is a crime.
Bribery (Foreign)
Under the CFPO Act, you can face charges if you offer any form of "benefit" to a Foreign public official to obtain an edge in business.
