Just google Franz Josef Strauss for some history on German corruption. Followed by a quick search on how exactly the government sourced face masks during COVID (same political part basically).

For Switzerland, well, a quick search for money laundering gives you all the information you need.

EDIT: Both the FIFA and the IOCI, probably the most corrupt organizations on earth, are having their seats in Switzerland.

Yeah but that isn't like back home in Portugal, where everyone does everyone little "favours", you cannot even get into some hospitals without a little help.

Your two orgs are not part of the Swiss gov't. Nor is the United Nations. On the whole Swiss society, business, and its gov't has very low corruption.

I checked his Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Josef_Strauss

I cannot find the word "corruption" anywhere. What am I missing?

Weapons deals with saudi arabia, the Starfighter, the Spiegel affaire (more an abuse of power than corruption), none of this is mentioned?

Edit: Both, the Spiegel affaire and the Lockheed bribery scandal are mentioned.
