Corrupt Chilean keeps position, shaking trade syndicate (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
hanseatic league
'trade syndicate' is the definition.
(medieval commercial confederation)
'corrupt chilean keeps position shaking' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'position' could be 'seat' (seating is a kind of positioning) and 'seat' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'chilean' is 'hanicle' which is located in the remaining letters.
'shaking' could be 'ague' (fit of shaking or shivering) and 'ague' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hanseatic league that I've seen before include "German trade union" , "economic association" .)
