More than 900 phone calls have been made to the anticorruption hotline in nine months since its launch. But only 16% of the callers provided information about cases that can be regarded as acts of corruption, said Cristina Cojocaru, project coordinator at the Center for Analysis and Prevention of Corruption (CAPC), quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The study “Calls Made to the Anticorruption Hotline” shows that the Moldovans, especially those aged between 41 and 60, do not remain unconcerned when they find out about corruption cases. On the other hand, the young people under 25 understand very well what corruption is, but refuse to report corruption-related cases, Cristina Cojocaru said. According to the study, the correct perception of corruption is inversely proportional to the age and directly proportional to the unwillingness to report the act of corruption. Most of the phone calls (67.7%) are made from the municipality of Chisinau, where about one fifth of the country’s population (18%) live. The study reveals that the callers to the hotline reported violations mostly in such sectors as: education (30%), police (20%), local public authorities (13%) and healthcare (12%). Some 90% of the complaints refer to the public sector, while 10% to the private sector. According to the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, the Moldovans perceive Moldova as a very corrupt country. It ranked 111th out of 179 countries.
