Bribery trials put Oakland politics and Indian defence in spotlight

Original: bribery

Bribery and corruption cases are drawing attention on two continents. In the United States, jury proceedings began against former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, with prosecutors alleging city power was effectively up for sale, while supporters rallied behind the Duong family as their corruption trial opened. In India, the CBI arrested a Munitions India Limited executive accused of leaking defence information. Commenters see the stories as testing public accountability in both countries.

Why now: The start of high-profile corruption trials involving a former US mayor and a new CBI arrest in India are fresh news driving discussion.
