Well, I'm not that confident. If the "offender" happens to be friends with "the state", that is, the party in power, then it's very likely that not much will happen, the executive will be happy to let them be, the prosecutors, who are not independent, will ignore the problem, and the judiciary will have its hands tied. Stories of corrupt politicians enjoying years and years of pilfering of the public good are much more common in "napoleonic" systems, it feels.
It's better to have a strong judiciary than a strong administrative police, imho.

That's largely because "pilfering of the public good" is much more precisely defined in such systems. There is plenty of corruption in anglo systems too. In fact, having moved to England, I've become accustomed to a degree of impropriety I honestly did not expect. It's just that a series of behaviors that would be explicitly considered illegal where I come from, here belong to a grey area that may or may not ever be illuminated by lawsuits. Because oversight is extremely weak, one can get away very easily with administrative murder. It's easy to look honest when bad behavior is not considered dishonest.
