The authorities were afraid of being called "racists"?

Convenient excuse, but I think not. This was too big and complicated an operation.

They were being paid off big time in cash...and sooner or later it'll come out.

That's my opinion.

My assumption was less charitable than yours. My best guess is that they were paid to look the other way, but not with cash - paid in services.
