Italy has been ranked one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, although it is slightly less corrupt than a year ago, according to Transparency International's annual index released on Tuesday.
Italy came 69th in the list of 177 countries and territories in this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index. The country’s public sector is perceived to be more corrupt than dozens of other nations including Saudi Arabia and Cuba, which came in joint 63rd place.
The eurozone’s third largest economy is, however, on the up with 43 points out of a possible best score of 100, compared to 42 last year.
Italy came joint place with Romania and was perceived as less corrupt than the EU’s worst offenders: Bulgaria at 77 and 80th-place Greece.
Economic powerhouse Germany received a relatively clean bill of health, coming in 12th place, while France came 22nd in the ranking and Spain a less-impressive 40th. Full story...
