Political corruption is the abuse of entrusted power by political leaders for private gain, with the objective of increasing power or wealth. Political corruption need not involve money changing hands; it may take the form of trading in influence or granting favours that poison politics and threaten democracy. 2, record 1, English, - political%20corruption

La corruption politique est l'abus de pouvoir par les dirigeants politiques à des fins personnelles, dans le but d'augmenter leur pouvoir ou leurs richesses. La corruption politique n'implique pas forcément que de l'argent passe d'une main à l'autre. Elle peut prendre la forme d'un trafic d'influence ou d'octroi de passe-droits qui empoisonnent la vie politique et menacent la démocratie. 2, record 1, French, - corruption%20politique
