Corruption’s “hell”: Albania in the sixth circle of Transparency International

Transparency International has recently published a report entitled People and Corruption: the Voice of People around the World. This report focuses on the findings of the global barometer of corruption.

Transparency International categorizes world states in 9 circles, as many as those of Dante’s Hell.

Albania results in the sixth circle, like no other country in the region. Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are in the fifth circle.

Macedonia and Kosovo in the third and Montenegro in the fourth. In Europe, meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine are in the same circle with Albania, while Moldova is in the seventh.

The circles refer to the percentage of citizens who have paid bribes in public administration in the last 12 months.

The sixth circle, where Albania is classified, refers to a percentage of 30% to 40%, which is relatively high and reveals an alarming level of corruption.

Transparency International is one of the most prestigious global body for measuring corruption and provides interesting data on an annual basis that enables comparison between different countries of the world for one of the greatest plagues of the modern society: corruption.
