It was 7 years ago. We have all new patrol police, new government services, etc. Of course corruption still here, but things are changing. Hope you will visit this year's PyCon to ensure

It should be known that the US isn't immune to this graft either (e.g., my aunt passed her driving test in Chicago via a conveniently placed $20 bill).
