Breaking the law is still breaking the law even if you don't hide it. If anything, not getting in trouble for breaking the law noticeably often means that there's also corruption from the ones who should be holding the corrupt accountable.

Breaking the law isn't "corruption"

A good definition from AI "Is when government officials misuse their power for personal gain or to benefit their friends or associates"

Right, which is illegal. Thus breaking the law. And remains both corruption and breaking the law even when it happens in the open.

Where in that definition does it say that it can’t be done in the open?

See for example Trump’s shenanigans, which are done in plain sight for all to see, but with few if any repercussions (a very brief selection: having foreign dignitaries stay at his hotel in DC while he’s in office; having the Secret Service stay at his resorts when he goes golfing; scamming the public with his family’s meme coins; etc)
