KSA’s anti-graft drive is not a shakedown, but a big shake-up | Arab News:
"What are the differences between a “shakedown,” a “plea bargain,” and a “deferred prosecution agreement”?
After consulting several dictionaries and talking to a few lawyers, I came to the conclusion it is largely a question of degree, sophistication and origination, and they are all pretty similar in practice.
A shakedown is US slang for demanding money with menace, and is obviously unacceptable and illegal, with shades of the gangster Al Capone: “Give me the money or I’ll break your arm.”"
