I'm quite doubtful about the fact that a public servant in Morocco, who earns about 300-550€, would have refused a bribe of 10.000€ and more, if the story was true.

Actually the fact that it was such a large bribe may have been the reason he refused it.  It would have been damn tough for him to make use of it and keep the fact he'd taken the bribe private.

She, not he, Ernest.

From what I have been told about Moroccan officialdom, you don't try to bribe strange officials there in order to get something done extralegally or just quickly. You establish a personal connection via someone with clout, you explain the situation over a cup of tea, and only should that not suffice you might then also offer a bribe. (We were in a situation where visas for Germany needed to be organized very urgently. No bribe was payed.)

Didn't bother to read the OP where it specified the gender. Sad  Not that gender was relevant to my point.
