Bribery:
Bribery is the offer of money, goods, services, information or anything else of value, which is presented with the intent of influencing the actions, opinions, or decisions of the taker.

Counterfeiting occurs when someone copies or imitates an item without having been authorized to do so and passes the copy off for the genuine or original item.

Embezzlement occurs when someone who has been entrusted with someone else's money or property uses it for their own benefit.
