Less than one percent of cases investigated for graft were sent for prosecution in 2017, figures from the Anti-Corruption Commission show.
The watchdog concluded that 1,326 cases either did not involve corruption, or that it was not going to probe them further because there was nothing suspicious, or that there was no corruption but that it would give recommendations to the institutions involved.
It sent 12 cases to the Prosecutor General’s office during the course of the year although the ACC has not provided figures for February, March or June. It rejected 86 cases last year although figures for May, June and August are not provided.
Some of the cases investigated date back years, including one from 2011.
