Tackling corruption from petty bribery to rigging of vast contracts crucial for EU membership hopes
“That gives us an opportunity to intervene with special tools. A microphone, a camera, to go to record the next meeting. We can capture the evidence of the crime as it’s happening.”Yet catching these higher up figures within the justice system is essential, Dragalin believes, to unblock progress holding up much larger corruption cases involving senior politicians and former officials.
“We have to first and foremost eliminate the corrupt prosecutors, judges, officers who are sabotaging,” Dragalin says. Policemen, who earn on average €970 a month, have a reputation among motorists for soliciting bribes under threat of issuing tickets. Corruption played a role in the decision of Dragalin’s parents, both mathematicians, to emigrate abroad when she was a child, after her father was offered a bribe at his university to give a student a good grade.
Low wages make it harder to hire honest staff and to retain them, Dragalin says. Some employees have already informed her they have applied for green cards or for jobs in the EU.
