The last international ranking that measures the perception of corruption, released by the NGO Transparency International in 2014, showed that Brazil remained stagnant. Despite recent investigations and judgments in cases such as the monthly allowance and corruption at Petrobrás, Brazil ranks 69th in a ranking of 175 countries, the same place as four years ago.

The new ranking has not yet been released, but the NGO Transparência Internacional (TI) started last Wednesday (9/12) a public vote in search of the best representative of the “great corruption” from a list of 15 “candidates” that includes the case of Petrobras, in addition to ex-president of Panama Ricardo Martinelli and the president of Equatorial Guinea Teodoro Obiang.

The voting period will run until February 9 through the websitewww.unmaskthecorrupt.org
