Justice is one of the most corrupt areas declares OSI report

The Open Society Institute (OSI) in its report published yesterday says that corruption has touched a very large number of institutions and the extend to which it is spreading has reached an alarming scale. The administration, police, customs services, as well as justice are the most corrupted areas," said one of the authors of the report, Quentin Reed. Another author, Jacek Kurczewski, claims that there are three active centers which fight corruption: the Sejm, the media and the European Commission. "The government is passive," he said. Interior Minister Krzysztof Janik objected, saying that the government has accepted an anti-corruption strategy and is realizing its objectives. "The government's anti-corruption strategy resembles a bag full of different and unrelated ideas," said Law and Justice's Ludwik Dorn. According to Reed, after the expansion, the European Union will be deluged by corruption. "Brussels will fail to come up with an efficient way of how to fight this phenomenon," he added.
