The Gleitzmann scandal generally refers to the corruption cases discovered in September 1983 during the tenure of Robert Gleitzmann as Premier of Besmenia from 1972 to 1980, as well as the illegal donation practices of the Besmenian People's Party during the 1970s. The scandal triggered national and international reactions. After the scandal was uncovered in September 1983, it was remained the dominant subject of political discussion and news coverage in Besmenia for several months. Due to the scandal, the BVP lost the trust of many voters, which could be clearly seen in the 1985 Besmenian federal election.
