Allegation
Contract inflation, import-licence racketeering, and diversion of public funds were pervasive at federal and state level under the NPN-led government.
Outcome / Status
Accountability came only through the succeeding military regime's tribunals, which jailed hundreds of politicians and officials on corruption charges — a process itself criticised as selective and denying proper defence rights.
Administration's response
The civilian government's own Ethical Revolution produced no significant prosecutions; the reckoning was imposed by the coup.
