ABSTRACT

White-collar criminals are individuals who commit financial crime in a professional setting where they have legal access and hide misconduct in legitimate transactions. Corruption is a white-collar crime involving two parties. White-collar corruption in public procurement is characterized by a public official who is offered or asks for an unreasonable favor from outside vendors, often in return for a special treatment of the supplier (Ksenia, 2008 and Passas, 2007).
