10 The Country Leader Is The Most Corrupt In The World

When it comes to politics, it is hard to find politicians or state leaders who are really clean. But when it comes to talking about anyone involved in corruption, people will find a lot of politicians or state leaders involved in the case. As will be discussed below, this country's leader is considered the most corrupt leader in the world. Who are they? Here is a list of the 10 most corrupt country leaders in the world.

10. Joseph Estrada, Philippines

Long before he was elected president of the Philippines, there have been many oblique issues about him. The issues said that Estrada used the art of manipulation to get people to support him because he said it would reduce the poverty rate that currently hit the Philippines.

The way it has managed to attract the hearts of most of the small people. Finally during the presidential election, Estrada gained much support from the people. But who would have thought turned out after serving as president, he was even involved in a corruption case that makes his name entered into the list of most corrupt president of the world. The corruption rate is estimated to be worth 78-80 million USD.

9. Arnoldo Aleman, Nicaragua

Being a president should be an honor for whoever the elect. That's how Nicaraguan president Arnoldo Aleman should feel. Before serving as president of Nicaragua, Aleman was a lawyer. As a lawyer who understands the law, of course he knows how bad the impact of corruption.

During his tenure as president of Nicaragua from 1997 to 2002, Aleman instead took action that was actually prohibited by the law of corruption. Proven in his presidency, Aleman has committed corruption that cost the state up to 100 million USD. As a result of his actions, he was sentenced to prison for 20 years.

8. Pavlo Lazarenko, Ukraine
Pavlo Lazarenko is not the president of Ukraine but only the prime minister. But his involvement in corruption cases in his country can not be left alone. Perhaps Lazarenko assumes that the people will not know the action of corruption, he thinks that he can use the name of the president as a protector.

The surprise of the prime minister of Ukraine is that he managed to commit a very large amount of corruption in a short amount of time. In his tenure from 1996 to 1997, Lazarenko was capable of corruption of 114-200 million USD. In just one year alone he can do that kind of corruption, what if it takes longer.

7. Alberto Fujimori, Peru
Do not be fooled by its name, maybe you think this is the president of the country of Japan. But that is wrong, Alberto Fujimori is a president of Peru. As president, it seems that the only thing in Fujimori's head is how to corrupt. He had no idea what the consequences would be for himself and the Peruvians.

Fujimori served as president from 1990 to 2000. During his ten-year tenure, Fujimori succeeded in stealing state funds of 600 million USD.

6. Jean-Claude Duvalier, Haiti

Jean Claude Duvalier is a corrupt president who managed to steal the money of his own country, Haiti. If in the Hollywood world there is an actor named Jean Claude Van Damme is famous for the image of "bad boy", it seems Duvalier want to imitate the same thing from the Hollywood actor.

Indeed, with the presidency, such a person can do anything he likes including taking public money without the knowledge of the country. Unfortunately that is not entirely true. The acts of corruption perpetrated by Duvalier are so great that many are suspicious of them. Duvalier abused his position by corruption of 300-800 million USD. Corruption is done from 1971 to 1986.

5. Slobodan Milosevic, Serbian Yugoslavia

Yugoslovia's Serbian president made Slobodan Milosevic forget that he was the country's leader who should be able to provide a good example of his people. But what happens is the opposite. Milosevic used his power as president to be able to use people's money as he pleased.

During his 11 years as president in 1989-2000, Milosevic was involved with a few corruption cases. Milosevic used the 11 years to commit corruption of 1 billion USD.

4. Sani Abacha, Nigeria


Nigeria is a war-torn West African state. Who would have thought that this civil war-ravaged country, proved to be the birth of a corruptor whose name was known as one of the most corrupt presidents in the world. He is Sani Abacha, the man who served as Nigeria's president from 1993-1998.

While it is clear Nigeria is being hit by a prolonged war, of course this country needs money in large numbers to improve the country's economy. But the president is expected to improve the country's economy even steal state money. No half-hearted, which is corrupted by Abacha reach the range of 2-5 billion USD.

3. Mobutu Sese Seko, Zaire


Get into the order of the 3 most corrupt presidents worldwide. It remains unknown how this method used by Zaire's president to be able to commit corruption of 5 billion USD. Corruption committed by Seko is quite long where he occupied the presidency for 32, from 1969-1997.

Being able to commit corruption for decades certainly needs a lot of sense to keep him from being suspected of misbehaving such a huge state money. So you can say that Seko is not only smart to corrupt but also clever in deceiving the law in the country,

2. Ferdinand Marcos, Philippines


The president of the Philippines served as president from 1972-1986. For 14 years as president, Marcos led the Philippines with the nature of his dictatorship. During his term as president of a dictator in the Philippines, Marcos was able to establish a close relationship between the Philippines and America.

In the 14 years of Marcos's leadership, he was able to secretly commit corruption. Corruption is done very enough to harm the country, where he did corruption with a value of 5-10 billion.

1. Suharto, Indonesia


Either have to be proud or embarrassed to see the name of Indonesia into the first rank in the world's most corrupt president. The president who is able to make Indonesia's name in the 1st rank is Muhamad Suharto.

Suharto served as president in Indonesia for a very long time of 31 years, 1967-1998. During his presidency, he placed his family members in the ministerial seat and gave a number of large companies to be handled by his son. The result of corruption committed by Suharto is also not kidding, even if the total corruption done by Seko and Markospun can not defeat Suharto. Suharto succeeded in corruption of 15-35 billion USD.
