In functioning democracies public servants go to prison—for a long time—for corruption.
For example the former minister of finance of Austria, sentenced to 8 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Heinz_Grasser

@jyrgenn there is no corruption-free democracies. but there's plain corruption, in the open with no consequences, like at the US Supreme Court; and then there's people like that finance minister that go a long way to hide it but at least sometimes are actually caught and sentenced.

Eh... what I hear from friends about Austrian politics, I'd rather not praise Austria as the paragon of corruption-free democracy.
