corruption scandals

Corruption scandals involve illegal or unethical activities by individuals, often in government or business, where power is abused for personal gain. This can include bribery, fraud, embezzlement, and nepotism. Such scandals undermine trust in institutions, divert public resources, and promote inequality. They often come to light through investigations, whistleblowers, or leaks, leading to legal consequences, resignations, or reforms. High-profile cases can significantly impact political landscapes and public opinion, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in governance and business practices.
