Despite the many reforms in the judiciary, there are still many 'hoods in robes' --- judges who either sell their decisions or allow politicians to influence their decisions.
This seems to be a very local slang in the Philipines. Can anyone help me with the translation into Spanish?
Thanks

Maleantes con investidura de juez, maleantes disfrazados de juez.
Hood: maleante, matón, rufián. (Simon and Schuster´s International Dictionary).
Robes: vestiduras. (Ibid.) Robes are the symbol of a judge.
I don´t this is Philippine slang, rather, English or American colloquialism.
