In one of the last opinions of the recent term, the Supreme Court decided a case that, while narrow on its face, could have significant ramifications for the anti-corruption arena. In Snyder v. United States, the Court held that 18 U.S.C. § 666 criminalizes bribes received by state and local officials for certain government-related business, but does not apply to gratuities – “for example, gift cards, lunches, plaques, books, framed photos or the like – that may be given as a token of appreciation after the official act.” In this guest article, Steptoe partners Brigida Benitez, Iris Bennett, Pat Linehan and Nick Silverman, along with special counsel Lucinda Low, discuss Snyder’s potential effects on prosecutions under other federal anti-corruption statutes, and then explore its compliance implications.
