Hi!
It is difficult for me to grab the meaning of 'implicate', for instance in this sentence:
"The attempts to implicate him in corrupt transactions were not successful"
I have come across different translations and explanations and now I am puzzled because it seems that it is an obscure sentence. It could mean
1. The attempts to INVOLVE him in corrupt transactions. So, we do not know whether he is guilty of doing smth with corrupt transactions and we simply try bring him into this matter.
2. The attempts to REVEAL that he had something to do with corrupt transactions. We knew that he was trying to conceal his crime, and we failed to expose it.
Which one is the real meaning of 'implicate' ?
Thank you!
