ressman Darrell Issa (R-California, U.S.)

1.達利爾·艾沙——國會議員(美國加利福尼亞)

10個有犯罪史的政治家(上)

California Republican Darrell Issa is the wealthiest member of Congress, and with numerous arrests under his belt, he is also the member with the shadiest past. His worth has been estimated at $355 million, which Issa began amassing when his company developed the Viper Car Security System. The talking alarm featured Issa's voice warning potential thieves to "Please step away from the car." Ironically, Issa has multiple arrests dating back to 1972 for stealing cars and been accused of an assortment of other crimes, ranging from arson and insurance fraud to concealed weapons.

達利爾·艾沙是加利福尼亞共和黨議員中最富有的,有着數不勝數的被捕記錄和令人髮指的過去。在他的公司開發了蝰蛇汽車安全系統後,他的總資產估計達到3.55億美元。汽車的防盜警報聲就是使用艾沙的真人發音:“請離我的車遠點。”諷刺的是,1972年艾沙好幾項偷車的犯罪記錄,還有很多其他的犯罪指控,比如縱火、保險詐騙和非法藏匿武器。

r George Rosario (Groveland, Florida)

2.喬治·羅沙瑞奧——市長(弗羅裏達州,格羅夫蘭市)

10個有犯罪史的政治家(上) 第2張

In 2016, the long arm of the law reached back 30 years to strip George Rosario of his Groveland, Florida mayorship. Rosario won a three-way race for the job, but one of the losing opponents insisted that the outcome should be overturned. Apparently, during his campaign, Rosario falsely claimed to have been awarded two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart and to have served 21 years in the Army. He also neglected to mention his two 1987 convictions for dealing cocaine. A judge later decided that Rosario should not be allowed to serve as mayor after all.

2016年,喬治·羅沙瑞奧30年前的犯罪行爲被揭露,其弗羅裏達州格羅夫蘭市市長的職位也隨之不保。在之前的競選過程中,羅沙瑞奧曾打敗了另外2位候選人,但是其中一位候選人堅持投票的結果應該被推翻。顯然,在羅沙瑞奧的競選中,他所稱的“在部隊服役的21年期間被授予了2枚青銅勳章和1枚紫心勳章”皆爲謊言。而且他還隱瞞了自己在1987因販賣可卡因被判刑2次的經歷。東窗事發後,法官免去了羅沙瑞奧的市長職位。

MP Mohammad Shahabuddin (India)

3.穆罕默德·謝哈布丁——全國人民黨國會議員(印度)

10個有犯罪史的政治家(上) 第3張

In a country that appears to be run by competing criminal organizations, Shahabuddin is the standard against which all of the many criminal politicians in India are measured. From campaigning from prison to releasing selfies while jailed, slapping around police officers, and killing off hostile witnesses and journalists, Shahabuddin lives large. A notorious crime figure before his long career as a PM, Shahabuddin has racked up 75 arrests, ten convictions, and has 45 cases pending since he began his political ascension. Recently, he was released from jail after being acquitted in a triple murder case that was disputed in court for 28 years and is now free to continue his political career if he so wishes.

印度基本上是一個由犯罪組織管理的國家,謝哈布丁就是衆多有犯罪記錄政治家中的典型代表。謝哈布丁的犯罪記錄罄竹難書——在監獄裏參加競選,被關押時發佈自拍,襲警,暗殺對自己不利的目擊證人和記者。在謝哈布丁成爲國會議員之前,他就已經是一個臭名昭著的犯罪分子了,在他的政治生涯開始後,有75次被逮捕記錄,10次被判刑記錄,有45件案件待審。最近,他又新捲入一樁三尸案,差點兒會被判28年,卻在法庭辯論環節後變成了無罪釋放,如果他願意,還可以繼續他的政治生涯。

mblyman Nelson Castro (Bronx, NY)

4.尼爾森·卡斯特羅——議員(紐約布朗克斯區)

10個有犯罪史的政治家(上) 第4張

Former Bronx Assemblyman Nelson Castro had a string of arrests before being elected to office in 2009. He committed larceny in Michigan when he was 19, and grand larceny in 2003 (for bilking unemployment checks while employed), and was arrested in 2008 for accruing over $3000 in parking tickets. Finally, after being indicted in connection with a voter fraud investigation in 2009, Castro agreed to wear a wire for the FBI to gather evidence against other corrupt politicians while performing his duties as an elected official. "This guy couldn't be trusted from day one, and lots of people knew it," said Mike Soto, a community leader and reformer in the Bronx.

前布朗克斯議員尼爾森·卡斯特羅在2009年被選爲公務員之前有一長串被捕記錄。19歲在密歇根犯有盜竊罪,2003年犯重大盜竊罪(有工作時去領了失業救濟金),然後在2008年因爲欠下了3000多美元的停車費被捕。最終,卡斯特羅在他的議員就任期間,被發現參與虛假投票。2009年,他開始戴上竊聽器爲FBI蒐集其他腐敗官員的證據。“從一開始就不應該相信這個傢伙,很多人都知道這一點,” 布朗克斯的社區負責人和改革家邁克·索托評價道。

idate Jordan Haskins (Michigan House of Representatives, 95th District)

5.喬丹·哈斯金斯——衆議院候選人(密歇根95選區)

10個有犯罪史的政治家(上) 第5張

An automobile enthusiast turned politician, Jordan Haskins has been seeking election to Michigan's 95th District House seat since 2014.

喬丹·哈斯金斯原來是一位“汽車發燒友”,從2014年從政後,一直在密歇根衆議院第95選區謀求一席之位。

Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, Haskins had a number of auto-related arrests, but after moving to Saginaw, Michigan (possibly to be closer to the Motor City), he began to develop a "cranking" fetish. (Cranking involves pulling spark plug wires to masturbate while cranking the engine.) The police explained in their report that "Jordan would remove the spark plug wires, then sit in the car and masturbate while the motor was sparking and making noises."

哈斯金斯在北加利福尼亞的雷利長大,有着一些與車有關的逮捕記錄,但搬到密歇根的薩吉諾後(可能是與汽車之城隔得近的原因),他對電啓動別人的車相當迷戀。他不僅是單純地電啓動偷車,還在等待電啓動的時候手淫。警方的報告中寫道“喬丹拔下火花塞,然後坐在車裏開始手淫,直到汽車啓動發出聲音。”

He was arrested on multiple occasions for breaking and entering a building with intent, unlawful driving of an automobile, larceny and trespassing, and malicious destruction of personal property. "I was just a lonely, angry kid at the time," Haskins said. "If anything, I could be put on 'World's Dumbest Criminals.'"

他被捕的原因有:多次闖入大樓偷車未遂、盜竊、非法闖入及蓄意破壞他人財產。“我那時只是一個孤獨的,容易生氣的孩子,”哈斯金斯解釋道,“如果非要給自己一個標籤,我應該是‘世界上最愚蠢的罪犯’了。”

So far, Haskins hasn't been successful in winning a seat in the House.

到現在爲止,哈斯金斯還沒有被選爲衆議院的一員。
