One common thread running through as a single strand is that the bulk of corruption and corrupt practices is what is termed White Collar Crime (WCC) Most suspects of this typology of crime belong to the higher economic classes, and possess several white shirts worn with lounge suits. As opposed to other forms of organized crime, violence does not figure in WCC to a significant level, although this may not always be the case. The result was the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) of 2005. As the UN Secretary-General quoted above said, foreign investment does not go to countries which rank high on the international corruption index. Not a very pleasant scenario─ except of course for the economic mafias running WCC so efficiently for their personal benefit.
