If Italy is the best you can come up with to counter that opinion, then your argument is lost.

I see no future in a protracted debate with you on this topic, but I think you are confused. The most objective measure of corruption is probably Transparency International's CPI, which assigns Italy a dismal score. For specific numbers related to the judiciary, the best source is probably Global Integrity who assign Italy's judiciary a score of 69, which is absolutely terrible. Accusations and even convictions relating to judicial bribery remain fairly common. Recently, a former defense minister was convicted of bribing multiple judges in Rome.
