Russian term or phrase: Отрабатывать/отработка
Сразу после отработки браконьеров начальник внутренней безопасности, будущий госизменник прислал группу из центрального аппарата, которая перевернула все вверх дном, пытаясь найти компромат на меня.

Вместе с руководством межрайонного отдела мы начали отработки коррупционеров в рыбинспекциях.

Work over; work on


Explanation:
To "work someone over" предполагает тщательный допрос с намеком на то, что было применено физическое принуждение.
Точно так же "to work on" or "get to work on" означает «обрабатывать» с предложением попытаться убедить кого-то.

Example sentence(s):
  • Straight after working the poachers over...
  • ...we started working on the corrupt officials
