This is different from the recorded cases, after all it's a "perception" index.

I don't think the trials have been finished yet.

True, but there's 0% chance corruption wasn't a factor. For what it's worth, the former president of Lombardy, in charge till 2013, has been condemned for 9 years for criminal activities. It's just how the system works.

I will wait for the final decision, personally, as I think presumption of innocence still holds, even if I might disagree at a personal or political level with the accused.

In this context presumption of innocence is different from presuming the crime did not happen. Presumption of innocence could be that even if you 100% sure corruption was pervasive you keep in mind that the people on trial might actually be innocent scapegoats.

That's also something the sentence at the end of the trial may cover: "not having carried out the fact" versus "the fact has not occurred".

At this point, there is neither indication (nor a guilt sentence, either).
