Are you facing charges of public corruption
Public corruption occurs when an elected or appointed government official violates federal law by demanding, soliciting, accepting, or agreeing to accept something of value in return for being influenced as to how they perform their official duties. Public corruption can come in many forms including bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and other federal crimes.
In the state of California, public corruption charges can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on the value of the item or gift offered. If a judicial officer, juror, arbitrator, appointee of the state, or other individuals who are authorized under the law to resolve or determine a controversy, accepts a bride to sway their decision, they could be facing penalties such as:
- 2-4 Years Imprisonment
- $2,000-$10,000 In Fines
