The games of inspection and corruption are popular topics in game theory. In paper Inspection -corruption game of illegal logging and other violations: generalized evolutionary approach, Mathematics MDPI 2021, 9(14), 1619 (by one of the authors) a generalized evolutionary approach was developed in a setting of a twolevel hierarchy, where a local inspector of a pool of agents (that may break the law) can be corrupted and is further controlled by the higher authority. Now we extend this modeling answering the following questions: (i) what levels of illegal profit of violators and what level of bribes of an inspector are realisable in stable equilibria, and (ii) what level of bribes can be optimal for a corrupted inspector that aims at maximising the total profit. Concrete settings that we have in mind are illegal logging, the sales of products with substandard quality and tax evasion.
