I don't know why you have that impression of Mexico. There has been corruption here since before the recent wave of crackdowns started, and, sadly, there will still be corruption when the crackdowns let up. When most Mexicans think about corruption, they think about nepotism, bribery, and embezzlement. Some of that's related to the narcos, of course, but it goes on even in areas where the narcos have little presence.
