Category:Corrupt Officials

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

- Lord John Dalberg-Acton

These are politicians who engage in corrupt, sometimes evil, acts against their own people. They abuse the law for their own purposes, sometimes exploiting it or changing it outright. Though not all officials have absolute power, they tend to abuse what power they do have until their term in power ends, or they die or are removed from power.
