You find out that one of your team members is taking bribes. However, he/she is in desperate need of the money! What is your ethical and moral obligation?

Agree with the answers already given by our friends. well answered. cheers. 

Thanks for your important question.

I completely support What Omar said.

If any team member is taking bribes we need to report to the higher management for taking necessary action.  Unethical behavior is not acceptable in any Organization.

Thanks 

According to me, I have to warn him- her with evidence, if

S-he do it again I will force him-her to resign with recommendation

i will warn him and inform him about the consequences and also make sure it will be not repeated  

Will make sure I understand what that person is going through and why they need the money. Will offer money (as mush as i can spare at that moment), than will encourage the person to share with other compassionate colleagues and friends who might be able to help. 

Will not leave that person till i make sure they are taking a healthy root to solve their problems. 

Discuss the case (without mentioning the person's name) with company leadership to enlighten them on the life/social challenges  their people are facing

A wrong is wrong !! No matter how much you try to justify it. It is totally unexpected and should not be encouraged or tolerated in any way.

I would speak to the concerned person and notify the immediate line manager only and not the whole team. This should serve as a detterence/ warning for future actions.

Thanks.

thanks for the invite :

personly i would warn him / her with evidence  and fix the sitiuation between us and make sure it is not will happen again from anyone eles in the team  

According to my understanding of the law a bribe is a criminal offence. According to all the corporate policies of all the companies i have worked for it is a summary dismissal. It is not for me to decide the outcome of the law but to uphold my responsibility of honesty and integrity. If i know there is corruption of the system it is my responsiblity to report it. 

It is unethical.  I would report them to appropriate authorities.

i think, his senior should warn him strictly .
