> The skeptic in me would say that the new rulers try to discredit their predecessors with allegations of corruption. The public servants are the ones that do this, not the new politicians. These actions involve police, judges, etc. The allegations of corruption are there for every political campaign. One party will try to discredit the other one to lower their amount of votes. It makes little sense for politicians to bring corruption cases out of a political campaign. And sadly enough corruption is usually not one of the top topics of political campaigns as all parties have some corruption cases and most voters react the most to other more divisive - and probably irrelevant - issues.
