Serious bribes either don't look like gifts or don't even go directly to the person who is being bribed. There are "industry conferences" organized in expensive resorts. In a recent case in Poland a CEO of a company bought his apartment for approximately a half of the market price.

For the really big bribes there are shell companies, which the vendor hires as subcontractor to get "consulting services".

The "CEO" in question is in practice political commissar of the ruling party.

Yes but they still cannot be too open about corruption.
