What is the ruling on a gift given to a judge by someone in whose favor he ruled, knowing that the gift was to expedite the issuance of the verdict, not to alter it?

The person who offered a gift to the judge to issue a ruling committed a great sin, and it is forbidden for the judge to accept it. The one who gives a bribe and the one who takes it are cursed. The judge's acceptance of a gift is ill-gotten gain, and bribery may amount to disbelief. This person and the judge must seek forgiveness and sincere repentance.
