Anticorruption agencies can essentialy be neutered by corrupt leadership. They're subject to public funding. This is what happens as we speak in Eastern Europe (notably Poland and Romania). Bad economic conditions, lack of infrastructure and education only make it worse. This is why the Marshall Plan did wonders to post-war GDR. And this is why halting EU funds to corrupt Eastern Europe states will only make matters worse and reutrn these countries 90s cleptocracies.
