Bobol is Caribbean slang — particularly from Trinidad and Tobago — for organized corruption or fraud, usually involving public funds or insider schemes. It goes beyond petty dishonesty: bobol is systematic, coordinated, and often shielded by the people in charge. When government contracts mysteriously go to the minister's cousin, or public money vanishes into thin air, that's bobol at work. The word carries both disgust and a resigned familiarity, the kind of corruption so entrenched it has its own colloquial name.
