Bribery in everyday life – not just the powerful: it’s so easy to get corrupted

Date:

Corruption as a stumbling block for the great people of our country: when allegations become public, one or the other can hardly suppress a wicked smile a la “Oh, a mighty man once fell on his face!” All too often we have to look in front of ourselves if we keep our noses up – because corruption, or what is usually understood by it, is part of everyday life.

Anyone who thinks that corruption is something modern is wrong. “Corruption is as old as humanity itself,” says lawyer Bettina Knötzl, “and it will be with us forever. It only changes in its form.” And those who think that it only affects the great and powerful are also wrong: “Corruption is everywhere. We come across it in everyday life, one already has to say “no”, Knötzl too Chairman of the Transparency International (TI) Advisory Board Austria, a non-profit and politically independent movement that takes a stand against corruption and for more transparency worldwide.
