March 1, 2012, the Supreme Court of Afghanistan announced that 60 former judges were convicted on corruption charges.  The majority worked in Kabul, and took bribes.

Another 1,000 people are under investigation for corruption! Those people do not work for the Afghan court system, but they acted as go betweens for the bribing of judges.

In 2011, several U.S. court cases showed that most of the corruption in Afghanistan, involving contractors, was instigated by U.S. forces who oversaw the funding of those contractors.
