"Legal bribes" with dedicated budgets and departments at corporations are absolutely a thing (lookup Siemens), only in Europe we avoid the word "lobbying". It's not conspiracy at all.

"Kickbacks" is the term used internally at Siemens for this modus. They only document it well for their CEE subsidiaries but the fish rots at the head.
