A more thorough explanation:

BRIBER

A briber is someone who offers a bribe to someone else. They might do this to try and get something they want, like a job or a contract. Another word for a briber is a bribe-giver.

1. The businessman was caught trying to bribe the government official to get a contract for his company.

2. The athlete was banned from competing after it was discovered that he had accepted bribes to throw a game.

These examples show how a briber might try to use money or other incentives to influence someone else's decision. In the first example, the businessman was trying to get a contract for his company, and in the second example, the athlete was trying to win a game. Both of them used bribes to try and get what they wanted, but they were caught and faced consequences for their actions.
