The "relevant function or activity" element is explained in Section 3—it covers "any function of a public nature; any activity connected with a business, trade or profession; any activity performed in the course of a person's employment; or any activity performed by or on behalf of a body of persons whether corporate or unincorporated", applying to both private and public industry, and encompassing activities performed outside the UK, even activities with no link to the country.—that is a very long sentence and needs to be broken up
..."therefore, a German business with retail outlets in the UK which pays a bribe in Spain could, in theory at least, face prosecution in the UK".—Again, according to whom? Is this the wording of the Act or a comment by a third party?
Who is the director of the appropriate prosecution agency? The DPP?
No; whoever the head of the local police unit or relevant body is at the local level - it varies from place to place and can't easily be defined. Ironholds (talk) 18:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
