Most corruption stats that I have seen are based on perception of corruption. If people perceive it as dodgy but legal, or if people view it as the odd bad egg, then it won't affect perceptions, no matter how rife it is. If it doesn't affect perceptions, it doesn't affect measures.

There’s a really great documentary about how criminals used the disconnect between perception of corruption and actual corruption in Vatican City to launder money for decades. (And still do, really.) The name of the movie escapes me but I’m commenting in hopes that someone here will know.
