Yeah swedish people think like that. Living in sweden and having some experience I can tell you that there's no corruption because the police don't care to investigate it, even with proof they won't bring people to justice. Most that happens to corrupt people is that they quit job and go to work somewhere else.

There is probably plenty of it, many escape but they do prosecute it when found (especially when it involves taxes). HÃ¥kan Nesser (book author) and Daniel Kindberg (Soccer club president) are probably the most famous recent cases, there's also been a bunch of cases related to social security fraud.

Most of it probably isn't glamorous enough to warrant full page articles but you do note them popping up in news at a steady rate.

Same in Canada for the most part.
