Corruption often survives by becoming procedure. In the arms trade, the bribe does not always appear as a bribe; it appears as the cost of doing business.
A legitimate fee compensates a real service.
A bribe captures a decision.
If it buys a service, disclosure, risk, delivery, expertise, or lawful representation, it belongs to business.
If it buys access that should not be sold, judgment that should remain impartial, public office used for private gain, or a decision made against the public interest, it has crossed into corruption.
