Malversation
“Malversation” (mal-vur-SAY-shun) is misconduct in public office.
Example (as used in The (London) Times): “Aniano Desierto, the government ombudsman, said that the preliminary investigation would take 60 days and involve six charges: plunder, malversation (misuse of funds), violations of the anti-graft law, perjury, bribery, and possession of unexplained wealth.”
