U.K. Group Releases Global Defense Sector Corruption Index -- Defense News

LONDON — Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Egypt have been ranked among the countries most susceptible to defense sector corruption, according to a report published Jan. 29 by a leading U.K. nongovernmental organization.

The Government Defence Anti-Corruption Index released by Transparency International UK says that 70 percent of the countries investigated lacked adequate means to prevent corruption.

Of the 82 countries studied, only Australia and Germany were classified as very low risk.

Global corruption in the defense sector costs a minimum of $20 billion a year, said Transparency International.
