Government and parties preparing anticorruption measures

The government is working with parties to submit anticorruption measures ahead of parliamentary elections. The measures are intended to involve primarily public tenders, the criminal liability of businesses and the operation of the police force. The minister of justice, Daniela Kovářová, said that the government itself would be submitting proposals regarding police wiretapping and the activities of stock corporations. The Czech Republic’s international corruption ranking recently rose from 45 to 52.
