==== The TPP Internal Corruption Investigation (1842 CE-1846 CE) ====
After the assassination of Mikhail Misovna, blame for who conspired it fell to the Tuvarian Peoples Party which had known resentment of the Progressivist Party of Tuvaria. And, after two murders of TPP members who were calling out the so-called Syndicate of Val, it was clear that there were members of the party who were trying to silence the whistleblowers. An internal investigation of the party was initiated by the President using executive powers and Parliament was shut down for the full investigation. Records, past members, current members, and past controversies were all researched and documented for use in a trial of possible corrupt members. The Syndicate of Val which was veiled in a cover of mystery after its discovery, was discovered to be founded by the TPP in 1843. This bombshell shattered the integrity of the TPP and its public image which was found to be a good PR moment for PPT.
The investigation gained more steam in 1845 when multiple high up members of the Parliament were found to have a record of bribing election officials, paying hush money, and embezzling the State Bank. This of course enraged voters and voting officials, and other members of the Upper and Lower Houses alike. The investigation concluded in 1846 and declared that the members found guilty of career corruption were to be put on trial for the following years. The officials put on trial numbered nearly 46.
===== The TPP Corruption Trials (1847 CE-1850 CE) =====
The rest of 1846 was the planning period for this immense trial. Each member judging on how long and how much they did for the crimes of Corruption, Embezzlement, Bribery, and Purgery would receive a sentence from 40 to 50 years or life in prison. There were a few who were on trial that attempted to leave the country but were quickly found, sent back to Tuvaria, and put in jail for life just for trying to escape.
====== 1847-1848 ======
The first trial of 1847 began with to the shock of many: the Master of Parliament himself Mathias Prichevic. This trial was clearly the largest and purposely the jury was chosen by bias which meant they could get him behind bars no matter what he may say. He was charged with Corruption, Embezzlement, Bias (ironically), and Purgery and was given the maximum sentence.
In 1847 and 1848. 16 of the 46 incarcerated were found guilty of each crime and put to jail for life respectively. A standout trial was the trial of Nikolai Valenska aka the leader of the Syndicate of Val (no one knows it was him yet). When he went to the trial, his jury was oddly calm and the judge was surprisingly kind to the cold face Nikolai. Nikolai looked emotionless on the outside but inside he was a nervous mess. The trial was amongst the longest and surprisingly he was found...not guilty. Now why was he found not guilty? Well, the Syndicate had grown beyond the party and the Judge was amongst the SoV. The Judge and Jury were all chosen to be SoV members to get a not guilty verdict and Valenska was back on the streets.
