bribery and corruption offences Explanation: both "mut" and "bestickning" mean bribery / corruption but I think this is how it would be constructed. Offences may seem superfluous but I would suggest is needed for emphasis of the law being broken. |

1 hr confidence:
offering or accepting bribes Explanation: Bestickningsbrott = offering bribe Mutbrott = accepting bribe The order in the Swedish expression is illogical; offer comes before acceptance. I have therefore changed the order. The use of "och" is horrible "nysvenska". I have therefor changed it to the grammatically correct "eller" (or). One could possibly use "and/or". I agree with my esteemed colleague that translation of "brott" would be superfluous. |
