How corrupt is Italy? Report launch: 30 March 2012 at 11.30 CET

The anti-corruption organisation, Transparency International Italy, will publish a report on 30 March evaluating the effectiveness of Italy’s key institutions against corruption.

Only 5 per cent of Italians say corruption is declining, according to recent Transparency International poll. The first Italian report of its kind, the National Integrity System Survey takes an in-depth look at Italy’s anti-corruption structures, comparing thirteen institutions and sectors: anti-corruption agencies, business, central electoral services, civil society, the court of auditors, executive power, judiciary, law enforcement, media, the ombudsman, parliament, political parties, and public administration.
