Martillar

A synonym for shaking someone down for a bribe, but it also refers to hitting up several people for small amounts of money to reach a goal, which is not necessarily a crime. (In Venezuela, the synonym matraquear specifically refers to police or officials demanding bribes).

I was martillando all my uncles today and I got the money for the bus fare to the beach.
