The group is completely inflexible in dealing with corruption

Your suggestion "The group is completely inflexible regarding corruption" is good. But I have adapted it slightly because the Spanish phrase implies that the group has to actually deal with this corruption in one way or another.

The group's policy is one of zero tolerance for corruption.

'Zero tolerance for something' is a very fashionable expression at the moment.
