Hi there,


Which is the best sentence?

1- The ministers were found guilty of having accepted personal gifts from foreign companies.


2-The ministers were found guilty of accepting personal gifts from foreign companies.


If there are other possibilities,you are free to tell.


Thanks in advance.
