Аннотация:Abstract: The article deals with the norms of section 30 of the Special Part of the German Criminal Code,
which in its system is distinguished by the subject of a criminal act. The author analyzes the signs of the relevant
norms, in particular, the composition of bribery. It is noted that the offenses related to bribery committed by nonofficials
are located, for example, in section 26 "Criminal acts against competition". The innovation of the Criminal
Code of the Federal Republic of Germany is the establishment of criminal liability for bribery in the health
sector - § 299a (taking a bribe in the health sector), § 299b (giving a bribe in the health sector), § 300 (particularly
serious cases of bribing and taking bribes in business and health care ).
