coalición de servidores públicos
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Mexico
Mexican text ref. a corrupt politician. I feel like there must be a better equivalent in English than the literal translation, but I haven’t been able to come up with it. Any suggestions?
Violó el reglamento de la ley y presuntamente cometió “conductas delictuosas tales como **coalición de servidores públicos,** uso indebido de atribuciones y facultades, ejercicio abusivo de funciones y cohecho.”

: Becerra's dictionary offers three possibilities for coalición: collusion, conspiracy and connivance. Good call Henry!

collusion with government employees
We do use "public servants" in English but we also use public or government employees. Consider moving away from the literal expression.
