How could we be sure they aren't actually trying to cleanse evidence of high-level corruption and other crimes?

  Because the police doesn't collect those in the first place /s.

  Simple: "high-level corruption" isn't part of Europol's mandate (see https://www.europol.europa.eu/about-europol https://www.europol.europa.eu/about-europol), so it's unlikely that they have data on that in the first place.

    I think it's reasonable that "organised forms of crime" (an example of their mandate) could have, as a large side effect, high-level corruption.

    The EU needs an anti corruption directorate just like the countries they accuse of corruption and delay entry to Schengen. The EPPO and OLAF only deal with fraud with EU funds. Maybe the scope of these institutions should be extended.

      That need has been acknowledged, the problem is to get the Council of Europe to accept when some of its members are major fraudsters...
