World Corruption Scandals

Citizens' opinion is of great importance in the fight against corruption. Therefore, it is not uncommon for large and small states to conduct surveys with citizens, in order to understand citizen opinion. Usually, citizens in most cases give great criticism to state institutions for their unmerited commitment to stop corruption. Every year the states make barometer the public opinion and release the percentages of public opinions, not infrequently the opinions of the citizens are extreme for the fight against corruption by the state. This year¿s Euro barometer surveys on corruption found that 4 in 10 citizens believe that corruption has risen in their country over the past three years, with now over 2/3 (70%) saying that corruption is widespread in their country. The survey is indicative, only a minority of people believes that the fight against corruption in their country is effective. More than 3 out of 4 company managers (78%) also believe that too close links between business and politics lead to corruption in their country. Most of the countries in the absence of the effective fight against corruption often change the law, draw up strategies, rules, instructions, etc.
