White corruption
Misuse funds, by exaggerating salaries and (inventing) costs, without justification.
 
Black corruption
Re-allocate or transfer of money under threat. Not always the person himself is to blame.
 
Orange corruption
Transfer funds to own bank accounts, direct or via friends or companies.
 
Red corruption

To supply counterfeit and low quality products and shift the ‘savings’ to managers and decision makers.

Yellow corruption
Also called "commission", rather innocent, but can easily slip into the Red C-bug.
 
Purple corruption
Straight forward, simply don't pay for contracted services, materials or equipment.
 
Green corruption

Deliver service to friends or institutes without asking payment.
 
Brown corruption
Similar to Purple corruption, but now done by the beneficiaries of the service, high in number, so the effect is large.
