2014(Compare Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v Freed, 265 AD2d 938 , 939 [1999] [“Contrary to defendants’ contention, commercial bribery can constitute a civil cause of action”], with Sardanis v Sumitomo Corp., 279 AD2d 225, 230 [1st Dept 2001] [deeming no private right of action under the commercial bribery provisions of the Penal Law “notwithstanding a contrary ruling by the Fourth Department in Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v Freed”].)
