Policemen and customs officers

The policemen and customs officers head the corruption ranking, a survey launched by the independent company “IMAS Chsinau” on Monday reveals.

According to the survey, each eighth interviewed person said that most of the policemen and customs officers are involved in corruption acts. They are followed by the high ranking employees, justice and health workers. Local councilors, teaching staff, journalists and others are considered as the least corrupt.

Director of IMAS Chisinau, Doru Petrut, told a press conference on Monday that the largest part of respondents assert that the main factor determining the corruption in Moldova is state functionaries’ low salary. Corruption takes the fifth place in the top of problems that Moldova confronts, according to the population.

The survey was carried out at the request of Moldova’s anticorruption center on a sample of 3,125 persons from 12 districts of the country. The margin of sampling error is 1.8%.
