Switzerland remains among least corrupt nations
On International Anti-Corruption Day, Transparency International (TI) tells Swissinfo that corruption remains a problem in Switzerland. Here's what the survey finds:
The Global Corruption Barometer, based on a 69-nation survey, shows that the Swiss public have the least confidence in politics, business and the media.
Just one per cent of the Swiss respondents admitted they had paid a bribe over the last 12 months. However, Schwübel complains that there have been very few criminal convictions for corruption since the law was tightened in 2000.
Political parties were perceived as by far the most corrupt institutions in society in 45 of the 69 countries surveyed, including Switzerland.
The private sector and the media are next in line for lack of Swiss public trust.
However, sectors such as the police, customs, the legal system and tax authorities are considered trustworthy in Switzerland, unlike in many other countries.

I find that story very baffling. It seems to be based on people's perception not on actual fact. And for someone to say "What we have is a different kind of bribery here, related to permits or surcharges for various activities, for example in the building trade." is fundamentally misleading, surely the difference between corruption and permits is that permits cost the same for everyone, while corruption is totally arbitrary.
Great work and thank you for your service
