159In the exercise of its unlimited jurisdiction, the Court finds that the applicant committed the acts of corruption and grave professional misconduct set out in paragraphs 121 to 123, 126, 127 and 129 to 134 above. Those acts are very serious by their very nature, since the purpose of the applicant’s conduct was to bribe officials in the public administration of the Republic of North Macedonia in order to obtain a competitive advantage over other bidders. It must be held that the applicant intentionally sought to corrupt officials in the public administration of the Republic of North Macedonia. That conduct lasted slightly over four years, during which time several persons within the applicant and external to it were involved.
