I am not aware of a crime “corruption,” in Minnesota Statutes or the United States Code. The story mentions “Bribery” which is a crime. The word corruption is less specific, more abstract and more subjective. Non-criminal as well as lawful practices may be corrupt. What is a corrupt use of money or other things or services of value can be quite subjective. The concept of victim is problematic. For example, harmful acts may be justified. Self-defense of your child from a violent attack, resulting in the death of the attacker would make the attacker a “victim” of a violent act. Another example: paying a bribe to a government official somewhere in the world to gain the release of a falsely arrested, innocent family member might be a crime, but would it be justified?
