贪污 is surely some kind of 腐败.
But 腐败 is not necessarily 贪污.
腐败 is a state or status which is literally and originally used to describe a rotten object, while 贪污 is a behavior that shows the subject's greed for the money from people.

Holy molly! Dom is that you? Liam was talking about you the other day hahaha. What a small world!
Anyway, 腐败 is often used as an adjective, meaning corrupted. For example: 这个组织很腐败 (This organisation is very corrupted).
贪污 is more of a verb, which means to receive bribery. For example, 他贪污受贿 (He receives bravery.)
