Spain fails to implement anti-corruption measures, says Council of Europe

Spain has not fully implemented any of the eleven recommendations by the Council of Europe aimed at preventing corruption in politics and the judiciary since they were issued in 2013, thus standing as the only country along with Belgium that has completed none of the measures suggested.

“We are expecting Spain to implement them fully,” said Marin Mrčela, president of the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the anti-corruption body of the Council of Europe. He stressed that political will is the most important thing to fight against corruption.
