My sister met her boyfriend in 1995 and in 1996 they were married.
He was a cop and he bought her a $4000 engagement ring.
I heard later that he received the money doing something corrupt.
ie tipping off someone.
Then when they got married, she seemed to have lots of nice jewellery and clothes and was always getting her hair done.
Once she even boasted - "look at this 9carat gold ring my hubby has bought me".
After his charges this year(about 12) i think, one of them was receiving stolen jewellery.
Would my sister have known or would she just realise this is how much her husband earnt?
I remember they were always going to posh motels and staying their weekends.
Once I asked her, "Wow, how can you afford this" and she
said, "my husband works hard".
He has since been charged, but do you think she would have known
about his corruption 10 years ago?

This really depends on what kind of role she played in handling the finances. If she never saw his pay check and he paid all the bills and just gave her a spending account then she might not realize there was a reason to be suspicious.

She should have known it and she could have been playing the dumb card this whole time, but on the other hand she could have just as easily been deceived herself. It's so easy to believe what you want to believe.
You can only go by your gut instinct I suppose.
No matter how much you know a person they can still hide things from you. Trust is a very rare thing these days. It's so easy to lie.

Let me get this straight... you AND your sister both married corrupt cops? How proud your parents must be.
You, and your sister, are nothing but police groupies... commonly refered to as "Badge Bunnies".
Maybe you should start hanging around at the Fire Department.

she probably was too much in love w/ him to see he was corrupt at 1st. but as time went on she either figured it out on her own or he confided in her. Hell if he was that devious he probably even threatened her w/jail time for being an accomplice after the fact.

Yes, she knew but didn't want to know. It's very easy to turn the other way when you are benefiting from the corruption.

She was probably aware of what he was doing but living in denial.
