Moldova ranks 120 in the Corruption Perception Index

Moldova ranks 120th out of 180 countries in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) for 2019 that was launched by Transparency International, IPN reports.

Moldova slipped 3 spots from the 117th in 2018. The CPI measures public sector corruption in 180 countries and territories, giving each a score from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean),

Transparency International Moldova said 2019 was difficult for Moldova. The experts noted that even if the Prosecutor General’s Office inspected the specialized prosecutor’s offices, the veritable reform of the whole justice sector stagnates. A lot was invested in creating the Crime Assets Recovery Agency, but the process of recovering the stolen funds continues to be delayed.

The Association’s experts said that to support the democratic state with the rule of law in Moldova, the countries of the European Union and the Eastern Partnership should work out and adopt laws similar to the Magnitsky Act, imposing travel restrictions and freezing the assets of those involved in grand corruption, consolidate the legal framework for preventing money laundering, stimulating the activity of the recently created European Public Prosecutor’s Office and facilitating the recovery of crime assets.

In 2019, Moldova took the 120th position, compared with Georgia that ranked 44th, Romania – 70th, Armenia – 77th, Ukraine – 126th, Russia – 137th, Uzbekistan – 153rd, Turkmenistan –165th.
