A corrupt leader is anyone who holds a position of power within a government and uses their influence to gain an unlawful advantage for themselves or someone else. This advantage can be in the form of money, greater influence or political favors. A common example is the embezzlement of funds that come from public projects or schemes and flow into one's own pocket.
Acts of corruption are an affront to the ideals of a healthy democracy, and that is why corrupt leaders fall out of favor in their countries, and some are even officially charged with corruption
They were all the highest leaders of their countries.
