The Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation has posted a few of its public corruption cases of interest for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Among them:
– Former County Sheriff Sentenced for Racketeering Activities
– Construction Company President Sentenced to Prison in Tulsa Public Works Bribery Case
– Former US Army Officer Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Role in Bribery Conspiracy in al-Hillah, Iraq
– Army Officer, Wife, Relatives Sentenced in Scheme Related to Department of Defense Contracts
– Tribal Leader in Arizona Sentenced for Theft of $300,000 in Tribal Funds
– Former Ukranian Prime Minister Sentenced to 97 Months in Prison
– Former Officers of VECO Corporation Sentenced for Roles in Alaska Public Corruption Scheme
The link has the details behind the examples. It’s safe to say public corruption flourishes wherever there is money to be had and dishonest public officials to exploit it.
Speaking of corruption, why is Charlie Rangel not in jail? Instead of cooling his heals in prison he is still “at large” pushing the biggest swindle in history, health care “reform”.
