The [[2015 TCU contributions scandal|Conniegate]] scandal in 2015 saw 64 [[Tierrador Conservatives' Union|TCU-affiliated]] politicians, 14 of which were actively serving in the Taisgol General Assembly, were removed in the middle of a session and charged for allegedly taking illegal campaign contributions over a 7-year period. Most corruption cases are settled and prosecuted by the Imperial Court, due to convenience.
