Is it a criminal offence to offer gifts or advantages to public officials<br />
even though there is no connection to a specific action or<br />
omission of the public official (e.g., Christmas gifts, etc)?<br />
No.<br />
Can the donor of the benefit show active repentance in order to<br />
abandon the offence and go without punishment? (e.g., if they<br />
report themselves to the authorities and prevent the anticipated<br />
act of the official) (Tätige Reue)<br />
If the perpetrator has attempted to commit a criminal offence but voluntarily<br />
desisted to go through with it, his sentence may be withdrawn.<br />
However, active repentance of a completed criminal offence may only<br />
constitute a mitigating circumstance in a criminal procedure against a<br />
perpetrator.<br />
