The Royal Scotsman Inn built a motel that did not comply with the building code. Therefore, Scotsman was refused an occupancy permit. The chair of the county council approached a representative of the motel and offered to have “everything taken care of” in exchange for the payment of $12,000. Scotsman was faced with the possibility of a large loss of revenue. Therefore, Scotsman agreed to pay the money. The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested the council chairperson after tape recording the discussion and seeing the exchange of the money. What crime did the council chairperson commit?
