Corruption is part of the capitalist system. The neo-liberalisation policy in India has been one of the main reasons for the mega corruption. But the corruption is not limited to India alone. It has become a serious problem world over. It has become a discussion point in the United Nations also.
As per media reports, the Joint Report submitted by the World Bank and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), governments are urged ‘to devote more resources to training investigators in fighting financial crimes, including large scale corruption , money laundering and terrorist financing’.
The committee report points out how the corruption cases and proceedings are hidden by legal structures like shell companies, trusts and others. Attempts to investigate the crimes are being frustrated by the corrupt politicians and powers that be.
In India, we have seen what is happening in the 2G scam, CWG scam etc. It corroborates the UN committee report. What the World Bank and United Nations are going to stop these corruptions?
