  It's not that complexity is a direct cause of corruption, but that it gives corruption a place to hide. A complex system with incentives to abuse it will be far more corrupt than a simple system with incentives to abuse it.

So look for complex government systems and you will inevitable find abuse (if you can navigate the system's complexity).
