Perception of corruption increases in Colombia

Compared to last year’s world report, Colombia’s perception of corruption has worsened, placing 94th out of 176 countries, said NGO Transparency International Wednesday.

According to Transparency International’s 2012 report, Colombia has dropped from 80th to 94th among 176 countries, placed between Zambia and Djibouti on their transparency corruption index.

The list that is headed by Finland, Denmark and New Zealand analyzes each country’s perceived level of corruption by its citizens, not the actual level of corruption as it may exist.
