Examples of Corruption

Argentina's VP - Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Argentina has seen corruption, at the very highest levels of government. In December of 2022 the president of Argentina was found guilty of embezzling one billion dollars and was later sentenced to six years. 

Colombia - Pablo Escobar

Escobar was a drug lord from Colombia. He was the king of cocaine and other illegal drugs, collecting a ridiculous amount of money in the process. Who used his wealth and power to bribe Colombian government officials and politicians. Escobar paid off judges and law enforcement officials which allowed him to operate without the worry of consequences. Although Escobar committed some unimaginable acts of violence such as bombings and assassinations, the corruption which he invoked on Colombia as a nation damaged the foundation of the Colombian Government
