UK falls to lowest ever position in global corruption index after Boris Johnson's premiership 🔴 The UK was one of five countries to suffer a dramatic slump in its year-on-year standing, alongside Qatar, Myanmar, Azerbaijan and Oman.
“The underlying data clearly indicate that business executives and other experts are concerned about insufficient controls on the abuse of public office and increasingly view corruption and bribery as a real issue in Britain. This is the strongest signal yet that slipping standards are being noticed on the world stage.”
With 100 representing the lowest level of corruption, the UK scored 73 – placing it behind Uruguay and Estonia and Hong Kong . Despite its slide in the standings, the UK was still ahead of France and America . Denmark topped the index with a score of 90, with South Sudan , where six journalists were earlier this month arrested on suspicion of disseminating footage showing the country’s president wetting himself, Syria and Somalia at the bottom.
