Alcahuete
Someone who covers up or enables other people's bad behavior out of complicity or convenience, staying silent when they should speak up. In Colombia and Venezuela, an alcahuete is the person who knows everything but says nothing because it suits them or because they are too conflict-averse to call it out.
