An example of corruption in government is the Bell scandal, which was made public by the Los Angeles Times in 2010.  A series of government employees were arrested for misappropriation of public funds. The employees made their salaries some of the highest government salaries in the nation. The people were prompted to engage in such corruption because they wanted more money and a higher paycheck. Like other groups’ noted, these corrupt government people were doing this for personal gain.

The Corruption we’ve chose was the corrupt on border control agents letting illegal and drug dealers come across the border and the officers are being bribed as much as $215,000 and egg roll size of marijuana and cocaine even food which is how the illegals are able to come, even big cartels will offer $70,000 for coming across as well and a big loaf of illegal drugs such as cocaine, xanax. They were also able to come across the border by a patrol cop of mexico so they’re able to come across but back in March Donald Trump wanted to build a border around Mexico so that drug dealers and rapists will not be able to come along and cause a draft of illegal immigrants and drugs, There was a bust for an border patrol agent and a big cartel member who got busted for drugs and illegal immigrants smuggling to the US back in September 2013 and had counts of marijuana, cocaine, as well as sex slaves who were sold for sex back in 2013 these are some of corruptions.

The Solntsevskaya Bratva, a branch of the Russian Mafia has recently been known to be heavily involved in Human trafficking and the Drug trade with a total revenue of over 8.5 billion. With over 9000 members the Group also targets Americans in Credit Fraud and Selling highly illegal things on the Black Market.
Another example of corruption was the 2016 election. Many claim that last years election was manipulated by Russia. Fake Facebook accounts made by Russians roamed the internet. They posted posts concerning the elections. To make things sketchier, a recent FBI instigation has found that most of Trump's campaign members were working with Russia.

Why?:
To gain power over a group of people, with money and correct backings the Russian mafia is near untouchable and uses that to their advantage in the corrupt country of Russia. Many speculate that Russia manipulated the election towards a direction they hoped would lead the U.S into corruption as well as make us weaker.

Example of Corruption:  Court's  decision on Turner v. People.
In the Turner v. People, Turner was found guilty of three accounts of sexual assault that had a maximum of 14 years in state prison. Instead the court sentenced him  to 6 months in county jail and 3 years of probation.
Why: Court sentenced him six months because of male and class privilege and the criminal justice system. Persky said the sexual assault victim suffered physical and devastating emotional injury but a prison sentence is not appropriate for the offender.

Our corruption topic is about Mike Flynn https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/01/us/politics/michael-flynn-guilty-russia-investigation.html and how he aided the Russians about lying to the FBI regarding the conversation with the Ambassadors. Mike Flynn did this because he wanted to undermine President Obama’s pre-existing policy about foreign policy. This action was wrong because it took place before President Trump was inaugurated. In conclusion, what Mike Flynn wanted was money, which would make him greedy and selfish.

Corruption: Cash for freedom

In Saudi Arabia Prince and officials tried to pay off their corruption by paying more than 1 billion dollars. The line between the public funds and the wealth of the royal family is unclear so corruption is considered to be widespread. The money that the royal family has is not completely separate from the public's so they spend money from the public too. This happened because they didn't have a boundary since the beginning that their family gained power so they have continued ever since. They want wealth and power. They are willing to settle the charges by paying money.

A former police man that worked for the Baltimore police was arrested and charged for helping distribute drugs stolen by other local cops. Eric Snell is being charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and heroin and will face up to 20 years in prison. Jemell Rayam became the third Baltimore officer to plead guilty to federal racketeering charges. With his plea, Rayam admitted to robbing people he encountered on the streets, billing the city for overtime hours he didn’t work, and forging reports to cover his tracks. This shows that even though police take oaths to protect and serve, that is not always the case. Many police officers become corrupt because they are unhappy with their salaries so they turn to other outlets and will do whatever they can to feel some type of power.

The article is about Arabian people being arrested for corruption because higher officials are paying police to arrest others. People are giving police money for their freedom. And the police are being greedy because an average police officer in Arabia is paid fifteen dollars an hour. So the main reason of them doing this has to do with the way things cost in their country.

Brock Turner was a swimmer at Stanford University. One night he went to a frat party and raped an unconscious girl behind a dumpster. He was taken to trial and convicted of three felony charges, the other two were dropped. He was facing up to 22 years in prison. The judge then sentenced Turner to 6 months in county jail because a "long prison sentence would have a devastating effect on turner. The judge gave turner a lesser sentence than deserved because he did not want to injure his future completely. This is very corrupt because he deserves the maximum sentence for raping somebody no matter how successful he was going to be with his future career.

A former Lawrence Police Officer was sentenced in federal court in Boston with attempting to use his position as a police officer to extort cocaine from a drug trafficker. The officer would seize the cocaine from a drug trafficker and threatened to arrest him if he didn’t continue to supply him with drugs. He did it so he would be able to gain profit from some of the drugs and he would do whatever he wanted with the rest since he had the choice to do so.

Other examples: Politicians using power for their own benefit like pocketing tax money,  offering a job in exchange for sex, police taking bribes.

Example of corruption: WWE
The WWE is a example of corruption because they always rig the fight before it takes place. Also, they always have the good guy win so he can build up his reputation. They are all about the fans and how they can make more money if a certain fight wins.
Why: They always fix the match before it happens to give the fans what they want. This is an example of corruption because they don't let the best wrestler win the match. They let the person that would sell most tickets win.

Mylan price gouging:
The drug company Mylan has been manufacturing and distributing EpiPens since 2007. The availability of EpiPens is essential for the safety of over 3.6 million Americans and counting since 2015. Initially, Mylan was serving its purpose honorably, distributing the life saving drug; however, since 2007, Mylan has raised the price of their EpiPen by 400% to a total of $500. What would drive a company to abandon its morals and gouge the wallets of desperate American families? In this case of corruption, the main cause is clearly greed; it is not enough for the company to make its original profits and save lives, no, they desire a much thicker wallet as well.

Ex: Slave trade in Libya

Reasons why:

- Power: The Libyan government thinks they’re more powerful than the migrants they have being auctioned for slavery. The Libyan government doesn’t have full control over their control ever since the recent fall of their leader and the influx of people coming from Nigeria. The UN is trying to decide if crimes against humanity charges can be brought against perpetrators.

Corruption :
Money for People:  People all of the world, against their will, are being told into slavery or even prostitution. Because of the decrease or down fall of an economy it causes people to make corrupt decisions.
Example of corruption:
The people of Libya are being sold into these categories. Since smugglers are struggling to keep the people they have captured, they are storing them into warehouses. These smugglers, who are desperately in the need of money, are even selling slaves as farm laborers for as low as $400 at night time slave auctions.
