DILEMMAS

DILEMMAS

Perception or reality?

Public or shadow administration?

Bad or good?

Tactical stability or strategic instability?

Actual level of corruption

Time

Action

Suspension

Perception

The level of corruption posing no danger to the state

Perception or reality?

Public or Shadow Administration?

Bribes: help solve problems I gave them and will continue to give great effectiveness future generation

Effective system of shadow administration: uses public resources unbound by legislation rapid service-orientated (helping a person)

Competition: the most effective wins

Good or Evil?

• mentality of transitional period

• statistical citizen

• distorted system of values

• alienation of the state and citizen

Tactical Stability or Strategic Instability?

REALITY + “CATALYSTS” = PERCEPTION

REALITY: HUGE CORRUPTION INEFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION

“CATALISTS”: MENTALITY MASS MEDIA

OUTCOME: BAD STATE = CORRUPT STATE DISTRUST OF THE MAIN STATE INSTITUTIONS HIGH CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX

Tactical Stability or Strategic Instability?

CONSEQUENCES:

ACTION INFLUENCES BY PERCEPTION

SYSTEM IS UNSTABLE

SMALL FINANCIAL OR CONCEPTUAL INJECTION INTO ELECTIONS MAY FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE

DEPLOYMENT OF POLITICAL FORCES

INCREASING THE RISK OF STATE CAPTURE

PRIORITIES

PRIORITIES

INCREASING LIABILITY

Criminal liability

Civil liability

Administrative liability

Codes of conduct

Moral values

Specific corruption investigation tools: effective intelligence whistleblower/informant criminal conduct simulation model technical means databases

CIVIL LIABILITY

Assets recovery system: criminal liability: confiscation civil liability: recovery tax liability: taxes

Living within one’s means

Target: property or a person?

Burden of Proof: citizen or a state?

EDUCATION

Corruption is a threat

Civic society

COURTS

A problem of transitional period

Damaged courts: toothless law enforcement

Courts or investigators?

EU EFFORTS

Two processes: two networks anti-corruption assets recovery

Effective tools: to curb global corruption to strengthen national bodies to reduce dependency on local authorities
