I can think of a few corruption cases that the press uncovered (or shed significant light on) - it is country specific though (South Africa):

- The arms deal (in which half of the ANC had a share).

- Corruption by the National Police Commisioner and head of Interpol (Jackie Selebi) and his links to organised crime.

- The Fidentia financial fraud scheme by Athur Brown

- A tax evasion scheme by RMB (a private bank for rich individuals)

- Tokyo Sexwale's (a businessman with links to the ANC) involvement in Iraq oil-for-food fraud.

- Fraud by state owned oil company PetroSA who passed on R15 million before an election to an ANC financier.

- Links between the ANC investment vehicle Chancellor House and government contracts (i.e. conflict of interest)

I am pretty sure you can make the same list for your own country.
