They have corruption at such a level that their governmental systems have completely failed,” Beeckman said. “The public there has no confidence in the people who run their country. We’re not there in this country, and we have no intention of getting there.” Bribery is a federal crime. If you suspect it, contact the FBI https://tips.fbi.gov/. A common worry is that if you submit a tip, you will be the sole cause of an open investigation about a public official. This is not accurate. Beeckman confirmed that a public corruption case cannot be opened based on a single source. “No detail is too small. You could be the person who supplies the last bit of information that we need—the puzzle piece that makes it all make sense,” he said. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: FBI Date: Fri, Nov 18, 2022, 12:01 PM Subject: FBI Top Stories: Investigation Thwarts Brazen Bribery Scheme | Federal Bureau of Investigation To: Investigation Thwarts Brazen Bribery Scheme An attorney, an elected official, and a businessman engaged in an outrageous corruption scheme, but the FBI thwarted their efforts.
