Corruption in Italy

Political corruption remains a major problem in Italy, particularly in Southern Italy including Calabria, parts of Campania and Sicily where corruption perception is at a high level.[1][2] Political parties are ranked as the most corrupt institution in Italy, closely followed by public officials and Parliament, according to Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer 2013.[3]

Regarding business and corruption, foreign investments and economic growth are hindered by organised crime and corruption.[4] Business executives from World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014 consider corruption one of the problems for doing business in Italy.[5] Procurement process, mainly in water, roads and railway projects, in Italy is affected by corruption.[6]
