PROBLEM: South Africa's former police chief and ex-president of Interpol Jackie Selebi was convicted Friday of corruption for accepting bribes from organised crime.
 Selebi had denied the charges against him  which he said were part of a broader political conspiracy that reached to the top levels of government.
 The trial laid out his startling links with the criminal underworld  in particular with convicted drug smuggler Glenn Agliotti who was accused of giving him cash and luxury gifts.
 Selebi was accused of taking bribes from Agliotti totalling more than 1.2 million rand (166 000 dollars  122 000 euros) between 2000 and 2005.
 What finally emerged was a picture of Agliotti  who was also accused in the murder of a local mining magnate  indulging Selebi's fondness for designer clothing  which the police chief rewarded by feeding Agliotti inside information.
 While in office  Selebi acknowledged his friendship with Agliotti saying "Glenn Agliotti is my friend  finish and klaar (end of story)."
 It was Agliotti's drugs conviction that lifted the lid on Selebi's activities  sparking a lengthy investigation into his life.
 His first arrest warrant was issued in September 2007 but he was not charged  reportedly due to protection by then-president Thabo Mbeki.
 On January 11  2008  he was charged with corruption and defeating the ends of justice due to his friendship with Agliotti.

PROBLEM: Blackburn's entry followed a decision earlier in the day by  term-limited Gov. Bill Haslam  to sit out the race  despite entreaties from Corker  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Tennessee's senior senator  Lamar Alexander.
"While I have loved being a mayor and a governor  I don't feel the same call to run for Senate at this point " said  Haslam .  He  said the hyper-partisanship that surrounds Congress was a factor in  his  decision.
 Haslam 's popularity in the state and  his  vast personal wealth would have made  him  a strong candidate  despite lingering anger among some Republicans over  his  call to Donald Trump to abandon  his  presidential nomination last year following the release of a videotape in which Trump boasted about groping women.
Corker  who announced last week that  he  wouldn't seek a third term  also publicly criticized the Republican president  for  his  response to a deadly white nationalist rally in Virginia. Corker questioned whether Trump had the "competence" or "stability" to succeed in office.
"I believe in President Trump's immigration ban  and I'll fight with  him  every step of the way to build that wall " she said. "I stand when the president walks in room  and yes  I stand when I hear the Star Spangled Banner."
Former U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher is another potential Republican Senate candidate  and is expected to make a decision in the coming days.  Haslam  hasn't said whether  he 'll endorse a Republican in the race.

PROBLEM: Michael Harrington  52   struck the plea bargain ahead of a scheduled April 30 trial in Manhattan federal court on four counts of conspiracy  fraud and bribery.
Under the deal   he  faces a recommended sentence of zero to six months in jail  but  his  lawyer said in court that prosecutors wouldnât oppose a defense request for probation.
The Manhattan US Attorneyâs Office declined to say why it offered  Harrington  the sweetheart deal.
 Harrington  was indicted in July on allegations that  he  took payoffs including thousands of dollars in work for a security firm  he  unofficially helped manage  hotel accommodations on a family trip to Chicago  restaurant meals  tickets to sporting events and a video-game system for  his  kids.
In exchange   he  was allegedly âon callâ to provide official NYPD assistance to Rechnitz and co-defendant Jeremy Reichberg  who is a Rechnitz pal and fellow de Blasio donor.
But  Harrington  instead pleaded guilty to illegally diverting police resources  without receiving payment  by skirting protocol to grant favors to Reichberg and other members of the Jewish community.
