Top 10 Most Corrupt Politicians In The World
In situations where money talks, everybody of a desirable interest would spare their ears to listen very carefully and where power and political influence seems to rule in a country, then this ultimately and inevitably becomes corruption’s playgroundtoo. We live in a time that is inhabited by some of the most corrupt politicians of the world. It honestly does not take much other than having persuasive talent, verbal ambition, valuable contacts in the right places at time and a heap of money to squander around loosely in order to master the art of bribing somebody in high places and to place them in a position where something dear to them would be threatened if they do not comply to whatever proposal you were brave enough to bring to their tables at short, random and unexpected notice. This is primarily more than enough to turn a good yet average and common politician into a corrupt individual that is ever ready to bask in the life of ‘white-collar’ crime.
In this fast paced world, there are many corrupt individuals who are notoriously famous for their illegal and unlawful deeds at the cost of state taxes and other funds that don’t belong to them. Situations of this nature has spread throughout the world and isn’t uncommon in most cases. Below are 10 of the most corrupt politicians of the world. You may already have prior knowledge of some of them, however it’s time to bring to light about these politicians darkness that they have been shadowing in for the duration of their seats in their cheated positions until being exposed and de-badged of their statuses.
10. Joseph
Estrada
Former President of the Philippines
At the very
beginning, before he has been officially elected as president, he used the art
of manipulation to create a “land of make believe” by using the poverty
circumstances of the majority of the Philippines against them in order to aid
in his campaign and manifesto which obviously helped in his election process as
he somehow predicted that , it’s the only way to gain the respect and voting
favor of the lower class first so that the higher society members could
recognize him as being a true president that is there to genuinely improve the
well-being of the people starting from the lowest to the highest in society. To
his shame, there was obviously an ulterior motive behind his charade that he
managed to put on as his won the votes and has been elected as president of the
Philippines in those years.
Joseph now counted among the most
corrupt politicians of the world, had started off as an Actor in his early life
and no wonder he was able to pull this off successfully in deceiving the people
who genuinely believed and saw a ray of hope in him. Joseph Estrada has been
corrupt since before he even became president, and sadly the Philippines were
too vulnerable to see it. Joseph Estrada has been accused and brought to books
and is believed to have taken more than $80 Million in bribes and corrupt
dealings.
9. Arnoldo
Aleman
Former President of Nicaragua
Being the
81st President of any country should be a huge honor to every Man,
regardless of how many Presidents were before you, the ‘President’ title simply
means, head of the Nation, Leader of an entire country, World recognition,
being an official part of a country’s history etc. However some people seem to
not realize the novelty, importance, honor and integrity of their Presidential
titles and tend to abuse the privileges handed to them by the state. Presidents
are under oath too, however for some people like Arnoldo, all this doesn’t mean
as much as having all of the world’s rich’s that exceeds his pay which was
bound to spark and arouse suspicions.
Aleman has pursued the career of
being a Lawyer before presidency and that alone should tell you that his Oath
and promise to the law, the country, should have been stronger than ever. We
may give credit to his personal success as a lawyer, then running for Mayor of
Nicaragua and then President and then one of the most corrupt politicians ever!
Quite an outstanding and successful career development in politics and business
too and the perfect way to be sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment for corruption by the
embezzlement of more than $100 Million from Nicaragua’s Treasury.
8. Pavlo
Lazarenko
Former Prime minister of Ukraine
The common
pattern amongst each of these corrupt
organisations or individuals is that each one sets a trend that
goes higher than the last corrupted individual. It’s strangely almost like a
competition of who can steal the most amount of money or be the nations most
corrupted politicians. It is rather amazing and stupid as well, what some
individuals would to do gain a place in the history of the world but for the
wrong reasons.
Pavlo on the other hand seems to have
done extremely well in his illegal and unlawful acts during the duration of his
time as just a mere PM (Prime Minister), not even the President in this case.
Still regardless of being the Prime Minister, it was in Pavlo’s plan to use the
President as a shield or to divert all attention from him, so that he could
continue to go on his quest for fraudulent activities that are to the estimated
corruption value of $200 Million which seems to have mysteriously disappeared
and later revealed that part of it has been used to sign a$10 billion dollar
deal abusing Office rights and terms .Most definitely creates a big Title on
the forehead of Pavlo to have been one of the most corrupt politicians of the
world to have been able to sneak a value of $200 Million under the carpet or
out of the visibility of authorities concerned.
7. Alberto
Fujimori
Former President of Peru
A funny name
this man has, but a clever
mindset, cleverer than all his other corrupt pals thus far as the
amount estimated in his corruption ranking value is rather staggering. Corrupt
Presidents among the most corrupt politicians, isn’t
an uncommon thing in this case ,it’s just that some of them are a little bit
more intelligent in their corruption parades that they were able to milk more
out of the state, than the rest before they’ve been brought to legal justice.
Alberto Fujimori is of an Asian descent which primarily means disciplined,
sharp witted, and intelligent as well as mentally sharp since they have that
Asian blood which is known to the world for their attention to detail type of
style in everything they say and do which ensures order and precision in most
cases.
In the Case of Alberto Fujimori
however and his corruption In Presidency has gotten over his ‘head’ of the
Nation accolade. It doesn’t mean that if a man is dressed with sharp suits,
speaks in polite speech mannerisms and carries himself out with professionalism
in the public eye, that he won’t be capable of corruption to some hectic degrees,
kidnapping and murder As well as guilty by court of law in his act of ordering
death squad Military men to do the dirty work of kidnappings and killings
during his presidency and with an estimated fraud value of $600 Million stolen from the state.
6. Jean-Claude
Duvalier
Former President of Haiti
We all know
that action star, Jean – Claude Van Damme has been the bad boy
dominating the Action Genre of Hollywood since the 80’s and there was only one of him. Jean – Claude Duvalier on the other hand,
obviously tried to imitate this actor in reality due to his first name being
the same, and very humorously couldn’t come close it seems. Some people in
power have seem to be waving the flag of a common trend that having “President”
title simply means “I own everything and everybody In a country” and this is
where abuse of power gets to best of their morality and beliefs and basically
everything else changes once somebody comes into full power and control, it
wouldn’t be very long until their power is taken to head where everything is
now swindled by their intimidating and authority figure finger. Duvalier is one
of the most corrupt politicians ever.
Everything seems to point in the
direction of corruption from here onwards.” Like father, like son” they say and
seems as though Papa Duvalier, the father of Jean – Claude Duvalier has
been terrorizing Haiti for more than a decade to which the
name struck fear In the locals. A man that claimed to bring about an economical
revolution to Haiti’s starving population, felt nothing to embezzle between
$300 – 800 Million during his time in office. Surely one of the most corrupt
politicians of the world.
5. Sani Abacha
Former President of Nigeria
Nigeria as
it stands to the world is automatically classed as a war torn country and
quite frankly, who could blame the world for thinking so lowly of them when
civil war seems to be so popular, the locals are somewhat getting better at it.
War torn countries, require a leader that can turn an entire nation around, command
in operations of war and actually win at it to protect the name and people of a
country. Not every leader appointed and elected into Presidency or parliament
or a high profiled position in a country sees for the actual needs of the
people and meets demands of what needs to be changed urgently for the better of
those protesting legally for it.
There will always be a need of self-improvement ,
personal greed while the rest will suffer dearly and that ultimately becomes
the major downfall of every country thereafter where as bad as things are as it
is, will become worse after a man so called ‘leader’ like Sani Achaba who is
often regarded as one of the most corrupt politicians, could steal around $4
Billion into personal private accounts as well as Jewelry to the value that
could supply a 100 years salary to the average Nigerian. Which was ‘attempted’
to be stolen from his residence by robbers that police have discovered and
ironically though after the immediate shock of his death, his wife tried to
flee with 4 suitcases of stolen money also. This is where hilariously, the
robber gets robbed and that too, by his own wife. Its more of a comical act of
fraudulence rather than a clever one. Mr. Achaba earns himself the title of one
of the funniest corrupt politicians that the world has seen.
4. Slobodan
Milosevic
Former President of Yugoslavia
Photo by:http://global-politics.eu/2017/09/05/slobodan-milosevic-destruction-yugoslavia-unpleasant-truths/
In terms of
fraud, one could ask oneself, what is the limit that somebody could reach in
terms of the amount of money they could take from the country without being
caught and for how long can they pull this off? There must be a certain genius
behind this as it isn’t as easy as mugging a homeless man on the street of his
last Penny to steal from something as large as an entire Country. Mr. Milosevic
however has gone beyond just money fraud in this case and has been convicted
according to BBC’s report of some high profiled
killings and being the head behind assassination attacks,
killing of witnesses or people who were brave enough to bring him to justice.
Plus he’s also one of the most corrupt politicians on our planet.
Power driven men, know no extremes
in terms of where they Power boundaries are when in office or in Presidency as
they sincerely believe that they control and own everything that the country
has, including the people, where human rights and constitutions are just pieces
of paper with fancy writing on it since none of these seem to genuinely matter
when they are committing fraudulent acts themselves and in this case, not in
small petty numbers as this one really reached the extreme fraud bars. $100
Billion shelled out to compensate for campaign bombings that took place and
causing collateral damage to this estimated worth and figure is no joke and
certainly not a child’s game. Presidents are supposed to bring about peace in
their countries and not inflict war with others. All this by the handy work of
one man and his accomplices, Slobodan Milosevic who even notoriously earned
himself a Street named after him.
3. Mobutu Sese
Seko
Former President of Zaire
From this
point on, the story of fraudulent acts become interlinked with each below this
rank, as it seems that the next 2 rankings below Mobutu Sese Seko has been
interlinked and confirmed as accomplishes that were involved in what is
estimated to be a $50 Billion 3 Man scorn from all 3 of the Countries
that these men represent such as: Zaire, Philippines and Indonesia. This is
actually the sum equal to the yearly budget of the West. How the 3 men managed
to pull this off is somewhat of a mystery, let the other two remain a mystery
for now. Mobutu Sese Seko is ranked among the most corrupt politicians in the
world and part of the 3 man tag team cross country in their reign of
‘joint -venture’ power-man fraudcommitments and dedication, has personally been
reported to embezzle an estimated amount of around 12 Billion by
himself. These figures certainly don’t lie and isn’t exaggerated either.
2. Ferdinand
Marcos
Former President of the Philippines
As part
of the three
Musketeers and why we call them ‘Marketeers’ is due to their
ability to put on a reputable and accountable appearance to their public of
being respectable Leaders of the country until that mask comes out and the
Robbers are revealed, its not inappropriate to call them “masked robbers”
either. And with this Mask they sure did create a Phantom of their very own
Opera (dramatic play). Yes! You’ve guessed it. Ferdinand Marcos (Former
President of the Philippines) is Mystery man 2 in the 3 man joint venture
of billions to be estimated amongst each other with regards to their fraudulent
acts. It seems as though the Philippines, sure knows how to elect their
Presidents, only to shoot themselves in the foot, not once but on two very
unwise choices of Presidents.
Making the same mistake twice is
considered as insanity, but then again, who are they to know whose going to rob
the entire nation until it happens. Ferdinand Marcos has been reported to have
stolen $5 – 10 Billion of his own as well during the years 1972 – 1986 In his time
of Presidency. He came second in our list of most corrupt politicians in the
planet.
1. Mohamed
Suharto
Former President of Indonesia
Mystery Man that
Ranks number 1 on the list of the most corrupt politicians in the world is
Mohamed Suharto seeing as because his managed to top the cake with a shiny
looking cherry of being able to take more than his joint venture pals (Mobutu
& Ferdinand), ‘M & F’. The value that he is worth in the estimated
value of notorious Presidential Fraud, it actually deserves a Campaign or Game
show of its own where the winner of who can embezzle the most out of a country
wins and Mohamed Suharto seemed to have won it big during his 30 Year
Presidential duration of Office in the Country’s highest seat.
During this time of Presidency, it
would have obviously given Mr. Suharto more than enough time to take a few
billions for himself and to absolutely no surprise did he surpass the
fraudulent amount of the rest reaching a staggering figure of $15 – $35 Billion
in stone cold hard assets and Swiss accounts that were ‘perfectly legal’ in
terms of its existence, but yet again, where money talks, the corrupt ears will
listen very closely and so it has been pulled off. What makes Mohamed Suharto
Thee most corrupt politician of the world isn’t just because of his fraudulent
rank rate being the highest in personal embezzlement but due to managing to put
up a decent, honest and upstanding Leader of the nation for 30 years. A man
that long in Presidency can be accused even without evidence for fabricating
votes every now and then or banking hard on Campaigns to make the greatest
impression every year to the vulnerable people who were just forced to believe
it.
