William O’Dwyer, kdysi uzn\u00e1van\u00fd starosta New Yorku, se do\u010dkal rozpadu sv\u00e9 pov\u011bsti kv\u016fli sv\u00e9 \u00fa\u010dasti na roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159en\u00e9 korupci. P\u0159es sv\u00e9 po\u010d\u00e1te\u010dn\u00ed \u00fasil\u00ed v boji proti organizovan\u00e9mu zlo\u010dinu se O’Dwyer nakonec zapletl do s\u00edt\u011b korupce, kter\u00e1 se t\u00e1hla a\u017e do nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00edch pater m\u011bstsk\u00e9 spr\u00e1vy.<\/p>\n\n
Okresn\u00ed prokur\u00e1tor Miles McDonald zah\u00e1jil vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed korupce v r\u00e1mci newyorsk\u00e9ho policejn\u00edho odd\u011blen\u00ed, zam\u011b\u0159en\u00e9 na s\u00e1zkov\u00e9 operace Harryho Grosse. McDonaldovo vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed odhalilo rozs\u00e1hlou s\u00ed\u0165 \u00faplatk\u016f a v\u00fdpaln\u00e9ho zahrnuj\u00edc\u00ed policisty a politiky.<\/p>\n\n
James Moran, O’Dwyer\u016fv prav\u00e1 ruka, sehr\u00e1l \u00fast\u0159edn\u00ed roli v korup\u010dn\u00edm sch\u00e9matu. Moran kontroloval distribuci topn\u00e9ho oleje a p\u0159ij\u00edmal \u00faplatky od p\u0159edsedy odbor\u016f hasi\u010d\u016f. Udr\u017eoval tak\u00e9 \u00fazk\u00e9 vazby se \u0161\u00e9fem mafie Frankem Costellem.<\/p>\n\n
Jak McDonaldovo vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed postupovalo, starosta O’Dwyer se sna\u017eil ho zdiskreditovat a vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed ma\u0159it. O’Dwyer ve\u0159ejn\u011b odsoudil McDonaldovo vy\u0161et\u0159ov\u00e1n\u00ed jako “hon na \u010darod\u011bjnice” a vyv\u00edjel n\u00e1tlak na policejn\u00ed d\u016fstojn\u00edky, aby se proti n\u011bmu obr\u00e1tili.<\/p>\n\n
Prezident Harry Truman zas\u00e1hl, aby ochr\u00e1nil O’Dwyera p\u0159ed st\u00edh\u00e1n\u00edm. Z obavy, \u017ee by ve\u0159ejn\u00fd skand\u00e1l po\u0161kodil Demokratickou stranu, jmenoval Truman O’Dwyera velvyslancem USA v Mexiku.<\/p>\n\n
V\u00fdbor sen\u00e1tora Estese Kefauvera uspo\u0159\u00e1dal ve\u0159ejn\u00e1 sly\u0161en\u00ed o organizovan\u00e9m zlo\u010dinu, kter\u00e1 vrhla sv\u011btlo na O’Dwyerovu korupci. O’Dwyer sv\u011bd\u010dil p\u0159ed v\u00fdborem, ale ve sv\u00fdch odpov\u011bd\u00edch vyh\u00fdbav\u00fd a zav\u00e1d\u011bj\u00edc\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Zpr\u00e1va Kefauverova v\u00fdboru do\u0161la k z\u00e1v\u011bru, \u017ee O’Dwyer b\u011bhem sv\u00e9ho p\u016fsoben\u00ed ve funkci starosty nep\u0159ijal \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e1 opat\u0159en\u00ed proti organizovan\u00e9mu zlo\u010dinu. O’Dwyer rezignoval na svou funkci velvyslance a vr\u00e1til se do Mexico City, aby se vyhnul st\u00edh\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Korup\u010dn\u00ed skand\u00e1l, do kter\u00e9ho byli zapojeni William O’Dwyer a dal\u0161\u00ed m\u011bst\u0161t\u00ed \u00fa\u0159edn\u00edci, naru\u0161il d\u016fv\u011bru ve\u0159ejnosti ve vl\u00e1du. Upozornil na v\u0161udyp\u0159\u00edtomn\u00fd vliv organizovan\u00e9ho zlo\u010dinu v americk\u00fdch m\u011bstech a ochotu politik\u016f p\u0159iv\u00edrat o\u010di nad korupc\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Korupce, kter\u00e1 se rozmohla v polovin\u011b 20. stolet\u00ed v New Yorku, byla sou\u010d\u00e1st\u00ed rozs\u00e1hlej\u0161\u00edho vzoru organizovan\u00e9ho zlo\u010dinu ve Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech. Odborov\u00e9 svazy, politici a pracovn\u00edci vym\u00e1h\u00e1n\u00ed pr\u00e1va \u010dasto uzav\u00edrali spojenectv\u00ed se \u0161\u00e9fy mafie, aby prosazovali sv\u00e9 vlastn\u00ed z\u00e1jmy. Tato syst\u00e9mov\u00e1 korupce br\u00e1nila ekonomick\u00e9mu r\u016fstu, oslabovala vym\u00e1h\u00e1n\u00ed pr\u00e1va a naru\u0161ovala pr\u00e1vn\u00ed st\u00e1t.<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory p\u0159ek\u00e1\u017ek\u00e1m, kter\u00fdm \u010delil, z\u016fstal Miles McDonald odhodl\u00e1n bojovat proti korupci. Po mnoho let p\u016fsobil jako soudce a nad\u00e1le prosazoval etick\u00e9 chov\u00e1n\u00ed ve vl\u00e1d\u011b. McDonaldovo d\u011bdictv\u00ed slou\u017e\u00ed jako p\u0159ipom\u00ednka, \u017ee i proti mocn\u00fdm sil\u00e1m je \u00fasil\u00ed o spravedlnost a integritu nezbytn\u00e9 pro zdrav\u00ed na\u0161\u00ed spole\u010dnosti.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
