A person who gives bribes to someone else in order to get them to do something dishonest or illegal.
Compound of 'bribe' (a reward offered for dishonest action) and 'giver' (one who gives). This specific term emphasizes the active role of the person initiating the corrupt transaction.
In many corruption cases, bribegivers are harder to catch than bribees because they operate across borders and use intermediaries, which is why anti-corruption agencies often focus on intercepting corrupt officials first.
