Public Corruption

Investigating Public Corruption
Public corruption is one of the FBI’s top investigative priorities—behind only terrorism, espionage, and cyber crimes. Why? Because of its impact on our democracy and national security. Public corruption can affect everything from how well our borders are secured and our neighborhoods protected…to verdicts handed down in courts…to the quality of our roads and schools. And it takes a significant toll on our pocketbooks, too, siphoning off tax dollars. Learn more here about our national program and local investigations.

Grey Horizontal Rule
One of the subjects in the Tennesee Waltz case (right) making a deal with our undercover agentBribery. Bagmen. Crooked politicians. Ethical lapses. All ugly terms that were part of an FBI public corruption case that recently came to a successful close.
