Meaning of corruptee | Babel Free

Definitions

Someone who is corrupted or bribed.

Examples

“The immunity of the bosses from arrest and prosecution gives them great power. They brag that they have a "rabbi," a "beard," a "cousin," or a "front" in city hall or in the police department, and that this corruptee will insure that no one who sticks with them will be seriously hurt by the forces of law and order.”

“Bribery is a shadowy endeavor and, whereas one can measure the length of a paved road, the total number of mobile telephone subscribers, the rate of maternal mortality, and so on, hardly anyone has managed effectively to enumerate the myriad facets of corruption—the multiple manipulations and machinations that keep corrupters and corruptees in business.”
