After years of focusing on recipients of bribes, China is
introducing criminal liability for those offering bribes from 1
November 2015. Criminal law amendments will make it an offence to
bribe close relatives or relations of a government official.
Offenders may face fines and even a prison term. As a consequence
of these changes, senior management could be held personally liable
in corruption cases. This extension of criminal liability shows yet
again how important it is to comply with Chinese anti-bribery laws
and to tailor compliance programmes accordingly.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
