Index

Errata:

The Hungary country report erroneously refers to a cartel agreement between the Hungary Post Office and a newspaper distribution company. The Hungarian Post Co Ltd., rather than the Hungarian Post Office was involved in the cartel.

The GCR 2009 erroneously reports that following the purchase of shares in LAN Airlines, Sebastian Piñera was left with US$700,000 windfall. The US$700,000 figure in fact refers to the amount that Piñera was later fined.
El Informe Global de la Corrupción 2009 (GCR) reporta, de manera errónea, que tras la compra de acciones en Aerolíneas LAN Sebastián Piñera obtuvo una ganancia de US$700,000. La cifra de US$700,000 de hecho se refiere al monto de la multa aplicada a Piñera posteriormente.
