That level of criminalization and corruption is no different than any other middle income countries sadly.

For example, the ex-Interior Minister in China getting arrested for corruption in 2014 as $14.5 Billion in assets were found [0]

Or $20 Billion in Russian investments being laundered in 2010-17 by the Laundromat [1]

Or the Odenbrecht Scandal in Brazil that toppled Dima Roussef due to $0.5 Billion in bribes [2]

Or the 2G Spectrum Allocation scandal in India that caused the govt to lose $25 Billion [3]

There is a whole subfield related to this which I did some research and policywork in.
