corrupt; bribed
Usage Note
Venduto is the past participle of vendere (to sell) used as an adjective. In its literal sense it means 'sold' (tutto esaurito e venduto). Colloquially and pejoratively, calling someone venduto means they have been bribed or have betrayed their principles for money — a strong insult in political discourse.
Examples
"Quel politico è completamente venduto."
Natural Translation
That politician is completely corrupt.
