Premise: After 1992, the "Clean Hands" investigation of political corruption brought about the most serious political crisis in the history of the Italian Republic, quickly extending to the uppermost levels of the political and economic system. In a matter of months, the magistracy uncovered a scene of corruption and political illegality without precedent in the history of the western democracies, involving the entire political class of the country and broad sectors of its business community.
Hypothesis: High-level political corruption is present in Italy.
