What was the largest bribe amount in the world?
In 2003, Giffen, an American banker, was arrested on suspicion of involvement in major corruption while trying to fly out of New York airport with a Kazakh diplomatic passport, which was banned under two civil laws in Kazakhstan.
The U.S. Attorney General's Office has revealed that Giffen paid $ 84 million in bribes to Nursultan Nazarbayev to use oil in Kazakhstan.
In a lawsuit that lasted until 2010, Giffen was fined only $ 25 and the case was closed.
This corruption case is called "Kazakhgate" in the world.
However, it should be noted that TeliaSonera, which owns the mobile operator UCell, gave Gulnara Karimova $ 350 million (https://www.currenttime.tv/a/29447094.html), according to world media.
