Maybe corruption doesnt matter THAT much in creation of wealth and riches.

Unless, you want to tell me, that Westerners became rich, when they did not know what corruption was.

The difference might be how much detail the public receives.

In 3rd world corruption we usually get every last detail, down to the expensive shoes bought by some corrupt person. In the U.S. we get a very partial picture, but most people understand that heavy details are being left out.

In this case we know

a) The girl was a drug user having sex with dozens of police. It is fairly common for police officers to give drugs to prostitutes, but in this case that possibility was never even investigated.

b) There are so many suspicious details in the 'suicide' that sparked the publicity, yet no credible investigation has been done.

c) The vast majority of police officers involved, despite having sex with an underaged and vulnerable person, faced no discipline.

d) It is almost certain that the scandal was managed to deflect attention away from higher up police officers. The first evidence of this was in the suicide investigation which anybody can research.

e) When something like this happens in a 3rd world country there is usually some credible protest. In this case there was a little 'indignation', but honestly nobody wants to take on police corruption and open themselves up to attack from the Justice Department, whose main task is making sure that police corruption stays out of the news and uninvestigated.
