The normal translation is I think Bribery and corruption. I know this is suborno y corrupción, but in English, Bribery and corruption is a standard expression for this kind of illegal misuse of public office.

Vocabulario relevante: influence peddling, influence trafficking, corruption, misconduct in public office, cronyism. Instancias específicas a veces reciben nombres propios: busca "cash for questions" en Google por un ejemplo.
