5.3 Organized Criminal and Politician Nexus

The protection's market: the politician's services to the underworld (the shelter, the transfers, the case's killing) against the money-and-muscle (the campaign's funding; the voters' intimidation). The faces: the criminal-turned-politician (the candidacy's records — the asset-and-criminal- declaration debates); the politician's syndicate links (the mining, the contracts, the smuggling world's allegations); the business-politician-criminal triangle (the classic's sociology — the triad's literature). The Nepal discourse: the elections' candidate profiles (the criminal cases' declarations — the election-watch reports); the parliament-and-courts' responses (the disqualification debates); the honest audit (the nexus's documentation difficulty — the allegation- and-proof gap).
