The officer was found doing all sorts of corruption...
Hi
Is this natural English? Any suggestions please?
The officer was found doing all sorts of corruption. He misappropriated funds, favored his friends and wronged those who dared to voice their feelings about his wrongdoings. This devil went as far as thrusting his corrupt deeds on innocent shoulders. (=made innocent people/accountants look corrupt to appear innocent himself.)
Thanks,
Tom
PS: I am especially having trouble with the blue sentence.

'doing corruption' doesn't work. I'd change it to 'participating in corruption'. 'devil' is better said as 'monster'.
- 'doing corruption' doesn't work.

- It's rather formal in style, but I'm assuming that's what you want.
- Otherwise, you would have written it more like you have it in italics at the end.
