I am pretty sure the lesser part of corruption is cash. Probably more stuff like exchanging a lucrative contract for political support.
They are not stupid. Afterall cash needs to be explained, a good contract gives you cash and the explanation.
Can't say in terms of proportion cash vs. non-cash but one might want to watch the Qatargate recent documentary on Arte which shows that somehow a 700k EUR luggage was found in the house of a MEP. Piles of cash sound outdated yet clearly still exist nowadays.

I'll leave that for few days.
Thanks!
Cash is mostly traceable at point of contact unless you keep it in a money bin and don't spend it, though..
The 500€ bill was removed from circulation because it was used almost exclusively for corruption and illegal trade.
