During all of 2020, only 25 cases involving bribes had been investigated by this institution, only 3 of which ended up being forwarded to the court system for further judgment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/barometer\/2021\/11\/04\/municipalities-and-health-sector-where-bribery-is-most-rampant\/\">Municipalities and health sector, where bribery is most rampant \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/barometer\/2021\/11\/04\/30-of-citizens-pay-off-civil-servants-experts-analyze-the-contributing-factors\/\">\u201830% of citizens pay off civil servants\u2019, experts analyze the contributing factors<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 30% of Albanian families have been asked for bribes from public administration workers, sometime in the past 12 months.
