I'm from France, southern Italy is excluded :) I think I did not explain my point very well : I read of corruption around construction project in France, or Germany, etc.., but it seems to me it never impacted the safety of the building as most the auditing society are not part of the corruption networks and it would make the corruption easy detectable. It's simpler to make the state overpay a building than to steal raw material; and people would not try to do both at the same time. If anyway something is stolen on a project it's by the workers not the contracting society itself.

Incidentally I just watched a video on the infamous Brandenburg airport yesterday. The corruption was on multiple levels, both the politician and the construction companies. Yeah the materials went missing and you could argue whether it was the workers who did it or on a more organized level. But construction managers were caught receiving huge amounts of money for contracts and the politicians wanted the airport open in 2012 totally pretending that any safety concern could be ignored. It's not a good look at all. Maybe the level of corruption is lower, or maybe it just exists in a different form. Not sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWYTnc7m9mE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWYTnc7m9mE
