In a prosecution for a violation under this chapter, no person otherwise competent as a witness is privileged to refuse to testify on the grounds that his or her testimony may incriminate him or her; however, no indictment or prosecution shall afterwards be brought against the witness on account of an offense or transaction concerning which he testifies as a witness. In a prosecution under this chapter, the city attorney may, with the consent of the city council, compromise the case by accepting from the defendant a sum not less than the fee, penalties and interest provided in PMC 5.04.080 and costs of such prosecution.
