You probably mean "corruption."
Other suitable words/phrases:
- Corruption — dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power (e.g., bribery, embezzlement).
- Malfeasance — wrongful or unlawful conduct, especially by a public official (more legal/formal).
- Misconduct — improper or unacceptable behavior (broader, not necessarily criminal).
- Abuse of power — using authority for wrongful or self-serving ends.
- Impropriety or maladministration — improper or incompetent management by officials.
Example: "The mayor was investigated for corruption after reports of kickbacks from city contractors."
