Most certainly

Look at the following , partial list of Central and State Agencies set up to fight fraud , money-laundering , corruption , tax-evasion , economic crimes etc :
 
> Public Accounts Committee          ( PAC )
 
> Central Vigilance Commission       ( CVC )
 
> Central Information Commission    ( CIC )
 
 > Research and Analysis Wing          ( RAW )
 
 > Serious Fraud Investigation Office  ( SFIO )
 
> Information Bureau                       ( IB  )
 
 > Economic Offence Wing                  ( EOW )
  
> Central Bureau of Investigation       ( CBI )
 
> Department of Revenue Intelligence ( DIR )
 
> Comptroller and Auditor General      ( CAG )
 
> Anti Corruption Bureaus ( States ).... ( ACB )
 
> Enforcement Directorate                   ( ED  )
 
> Lok Ayukts   ( States  )
  
> Lok Pal          ( Central )
 
 
 
Despite such an army of Agencies , how do corrupt manage to get away ?
 
Or , in case caught , manage to delay delivery of punishment for years  ?
 
No doubt , there must be several reasons , including , inter - agency rivalry to get credit - something difficult to eliminate altogether
 
But , I believe , the most important reason is :
 
Lack of a COMMON / COMPUTERIZED database of all offences / cases / persons being investigated
 
And , which is readily " Accessible " to all of these Agencies , all over the country ( 24 * 365 )
 
Already , every Agency compiles huge dossiers on " Suspects " in its own " Departmental Database " , which is never shared with other Agencies , leading to ,
  
>  Huge amount of duplication of efforts / information
  
>   Fractured / scattered profiles of " Suspects "
 
>  Enormous waste of time / resources
