Bribery is the act of offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value in exchange for influence or a favor. In the context of criminal law, bribery is generally considered to be a corrupt or fraudulent act that undermines the integrity of government or business. Bribery can take many forms, including offering money, gifts, or other benefits in exchange for an unlawful act or to influence the outcome of a decision. Bribery is generally a federal crime in the United States, and it is also a crime in many other countries. It is punishable by fines and imprisonment, and can have serious consequences for both the person offering the bribe and the person receiving it.

There are several strategies that a lawyer might use to build a defense against a charge of bribery. Here are a few:

1. Denial: The lawyer may argue that the accused did not engage in bribery, and that the evidence against them is insufficient to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
2. Mistake of fact: The lawyer may argue that the accused believed they were acting lawfully, and that they had no intention of engaging in bribery.
3. Lack of intent: The lawyer may argue that the accused did not intend to bribe anyone, and that any payments or gifts were made without the intention of influencing the recipient's actions.
4. Duress: The lawyer may argue that the accused was under some form of coercion or pressure to engage in the alleged bribery, and that they had no choice but to comply.
5. Entrapment: The lawyer may argue that the accused was tricked or coaxed into committing the alleged bribery by law enforcement or government agents.

It is important to note that the specific defenses that may be available to an accused person will depend on the circumstances of their case and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the alleged bribery occurred. A lawyer will carefully review the facts of the case and the applicable laws to determine the most appropriate defense strategy.
