[ULPIANUS libro quarto opinionum. ] §3.6.8.prSi ab eo, qui innocens fuit, sub specie criminis alicuius, quod in eo probatum non est, pecuniam acceptam is cuius de ea re notio est edoctus fuerit: id quod illicite extortum est secundum edicti formam, quod de his est, qui pecuniam ut negotium facerent aut non facerent accepisse dicerentur, restitui iubeat et ei, qui id commisit, pro modo delicti poenam irroget.
[ULPIANUS, Opinions, book 4] If he who has jurisdiction over the matter has been informed that money was accepted from a person who was innocent, under the pretext of some crime which has not been proved against him: he should order that what was unlawfully extorted be restored in accordance with the terms of the Edict, which relates to those who are said to have accepted money in order to cause or not to cause trouble, and he should impose a penalty upon the person who committed it, in proportion to the gravity of the offense.
