Tenth of Colombian state budget lost by graft

Tuesday, October 25, 2016


State corruption in Colombia costs annually $7.5 billion every year, almost 10 percent of the government’s 2017 budget, reported television network Caracol.

This means that this costs every Colombian citizen approximately $165, three quarters of a monthly minimum wage, every year.
