Corruption is a vice that has the greatest negative impact on the country's macroeconomic development indicators, and its manifestations can be diverse (bribery, extortion, fraud, nepotism, etc.).
This is how corruption is defined in scientific treatises. Corruption (from the Latin "corrumpere" - corruption, degeneration, decline) is the use of one's official position for profit.
For example, abuse of power by an official, granting privileges to a company owned or agreed upon in a tender, issuing illegal permits, and biased use of services.
Bribery is a type of corruption, specifically a crime committed through bribery (obtaining money, property, services, or other benefits).
The subject of a bribe can be money, valuable gifts, material assets, services that are gratuitous to the bribe-taker, but have a property nature (for example, the performance of repair, construction, restoration work, etc.).
What's the difference between the two?
Corruption is a broad concept, which includes bribery, selling office, illegal privileges, and all other corruption crimes.
Bribery is the most common and obvious form of corruption, based on receiving or giving a bribe.
According to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, receiving, giving, and mediating in bribery is punishable by a fine of up to 100 BRV or imprisonment for up to 15 years.
