Not really, these structures are not independent, they are dominated by

No, I'm English. My standard ref is UK, then EU, then USA.

Here in NZ, we just got rid our deputy chief of police, because of certain
unsavoury behaviour he was involved with. Note that no criminal charges
have been laid (yet): simply the fact that there is this whiff of
corruption about him was already grounds for dismissal.
 

In the UK our PM has clearly been accepting inappropriate financial gifts, our chancellor has a history of accepting gifts and lying about her CV. We do nothing.
People shouldn't be sacked for a whiff of anything. That encourages false allegations. There should be appropriate standards, standards to minimise risk of corruption. People should be fired when there is proof they have breached these standards.
