I think they meant the person requesting the bribe payment would be ashamed? Why would the person being pressured to pay a bribe feel shame?

Yeah that's exactly this!

The person requesting the bribe payment = person being bribed or "bribee"

The person paying the bribe = briber

However GP wrote "shame of the briber". Oops!
