Showing titles in Corruption & Misconduct

¿Qué se puede hacer cuando se sabe que las instituciones de un país las conforman personas despiadadas sin escrúpulos? ¿Qué se hace cuando la misma sociedad está integrada por ciudadanos que no sólo permiten, sino que llevan a cabo, participan, apoyan, sostienen, callan, esconden, encubren, ciento doce mil desapariciones de personas? ¿Con qué fuerza se sigue adelante? Y también, ¿cómo y por qué, a pesar de todo, se sigue luchando?

Collecting the four unprecedented indictments against Donald Trump, this essential volume features extensive commentary by NYU law professors and MSNBC contributors Melissa Murray and Andrew Weissmann. In the long span of American history, Donald Trump is the first former president to face criminal indictment. He is the subject of a series of explosive charges across four cases: the January 6 case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; the election interference case in Georgia; the classified documents case also brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; and the "hush money" case in New York.

This is the second book in this Evil World series. It is a conglomeration of miscellaneous poems written for friends and dealing with poem suggestions from those friends. They are also dealing with the crazy situations occurring in our lives in this time of turmoil. Many people believe that this time we are in is mirroring the events of the Bible book of Revelation. The poems concerning those event topics may be a bit biting to those that are not "Red-Pilled." Truth will be the qualifier. A new world is in our near future, and the truth is coming to the surface.

The United States Congress has always been messy and far-from-august, but as Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater show here, in scorching, shocking detail, it has reached some kind of chaotic bottom. The anarchy that reigned over Congress’s lower chamber in the wake of the January 6th attack on the Capitol Building—the election of serial liar and con man George Santos, revenge porn being shown on the floor of the house, and the theatrical high jinks of Lauren Boebert—all were a sign of decay and dysfunction of the highest order.

自民党議員による政治資金パーティー裏金問題は，安倍派をはじめとした派閥が解体された今も，決着を迎えてはいない．政治責任が問われることのないまま，うやむやになってしまうのか．

Sölve Conradsson, kommunfullmäktiges ordförande i Motala, åt, drack och reste för över hundra tusen kronor på kommunens bekostnad under 1995. Sölve och hans politikervänner tog med sina fruar på nöjesresor till Nice och Berlin, gick på fina restauranger och shoppade – och satte hela kalaset på skattebetalarnas nota. Det var en kommunledning genomsyrat av korruption och det var bara en tidsfråga innan skandalen skulle uppdagas.

Gladys Berejiklian was Australia's rockstar premier. The first woman elected to lead NSW, she steered the state through devastating bushfires, drought and a once-in-a-generation pandemic with a steady hand. To many, she was 'The Woman Who Saved Australia' for the way in which she navigated the first wave of COVID, with a sterling reputation as a dedicated and reliable public servant. But for all of her premiership, and well before, Berejiklian was harbouring a secret. That secret would eventually bring down one of the country's most deeply respected leaders.

Violar desde el poder es una investigación que revela los abusos sexuales de políticos siniestros como Félix Salgado Macedonio, Benjamín Saúl Huerta, Juan Bustos, Manuel Horacio Cavazos, José Elías Medel Galindo, Juan Antonio Vera Carrizal, Cuauhtémoc Gutiérrez de la Torre y más, encubiertos por otros funcionarios, cómplices que desde sus cargos públicos se burlan del dolor mortal de las víctimas.

The story of Watergate is usually told through the prism of straight white male journalists and politicians who were at the center of the scandal—but Watergate happened to all of us—wives, mothers, children, Black, White, queer, immigrants. Those voices and perceptions are rarely heard today. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Watergate was envisioned as a book that looks at the wider ripples of the Watergate explosion and how it changed the way Americans saw themselves, their country, and the world around them.

Sabato 21 luglio 2001, ultimo giorno del G8 di Genova, poco prima della mezzanotte, più di 300 operatori delle forze dell’ordine fanno irruzione nel complesso scolastico Diaz. In testa c’è il vii nucleo della ex Celere di Roma, seguono uomini delle squadre mobili e delle Digos mentre i carabinieri circondano l’edificio. In quella che il comandante Fournier definisce “una macelleria messicana” vengono arrestate e picchiate 93 persone sebbene non abbiano opposto alcuna resistenza.

It’s Best If You Don’t Reach Out (COVID vs. herpes) is about an unexceptional late-30s male trying to make his way through 2019, 2020, and 2021, while two kaiju viruses do battle over a rigged economy.

Isaac Gamboa era un exfuncionario de la Secretaría de Hacienda que, de la mano de Luis Videgaray, se convirtió en uno de los hombres más poderosos e importantes durante el sexenio de Peña Nieto. Su asesinato, y el de su familia en mayo de 2020, a manos de un comando armado en Temixco, Morelos, quedó sepultado bajo el móvil de un supuesto crimen pasional, orquestado por su esposa —hoy detenida— y uno de sus escoltas.

Lo más importante de La Casa Gris es que descubre y resume un modo de operar y de gobernar. Las irregularidades en torno a la mansión de Houston son prácticamente las mismas que se han documentado en otros escándalos de Morena y el círculo íntimo del presidente: conflictos de interés, recursos de procedencia inexplicable, influyentismo, uso político de las instituciones, amiguismo, descalificación sistemática, nepotismo, opacidad… Este libro lo demuestra.

Tenacity chronicles the evolution of entrepreneur Ron Coury, a major business figure in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the surrounding Western states. As Coury, a former US Marine, climbed the ladder toward his success, he faced a barrage of constraints, including political and police corruption, bribery, coercion, and even death threats. Coury details the struggles he faced and the losses he endured in this eye-opening look behind the curtain of business during the “good ol’ boy” days of Southern Nevada.

Much of the attention paid to Trump's rise to power has focused on his corrosive personality and divisive style of governing. But he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is much broader and deeper. The ascendance of Trump is the culmination of nearly 250 years of political reforms that gradually ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologically motivated party activists, interest groups, and donors. Author Lawrence Jacobs provides a highly engaging history of political reforms since the late-eighteenth century that over time dangerously weakened democracy.

Un libro indispensable para explorar los mecanismos internacionales para combatir el lavado de dinero y los grandes retos pendientes del Estados y la sociedad civil. El autor de Vacíos de poder en México continúa en esta obra un imperioso análisis sobre el crimen organizado y sus vínculos con la corrupción política.

En diciembre de 2006, Felipe Calderón declaró la «guerra contra el narco»: una era de sangre y fuego que ha dejado cientos de miles de muertos... y cientos de millones de dólares para unos pocos. En esta investigación #realizada a lo largo de 8 años, en 4 países y con más de 17 mil documentos# la periodista Peniley Ramírez desnuda a quienes se han forrado de dinero gracias a esa industria: políticos, proveedores, brokers, espías, empresas de seguridad, asesores, mandos policiacos, jefes militares y mercaderes de armas y de humo.

La storia di Mafia Capitale non è solo una storia visibile, territorio della politica e dell’amministrazione, né corrisponde soltanto alle vicende torbide di corruzione e malaffare che lentamente e a fatica emergono: le ragioni della sua forza e della sua pericolosità affondano nel terreno dei quartieri e delle periferie, e risalgono a una storia antichissima. Nel suo nuovo audiolibro, che contiene uno stralcio della sentenza della Cassazione del processo Mafia Capitale, Federica Angeli indaga la lunga storia della corruzione e della mafia a Roma.

WE Charity had changed the game. In its 25 years, the international development charity and youth empowerment movement impacted lives the world over. While most charities focus on making the world a better place for our children, WE Charity focused on making better children for our world. And then, unwittingly caught in the crosshairs of a partisan fight, WE Charity was forced to shutter its doors in Canada. In this book, former WE board member and lawyer Tawfiq Rangwala cuts through the fog and explains what really happened, why it happened, and who should be held to account.

La mañana del 13 de agosto de 2019, la historia política moderna de México cambió. Por primera vez en nuestro país, una secretaria de Estado era encarcelada a raíz de una investigación periodística.
