Regional Anti-Corruption Initiative (RAI)

RUSSIAN BUREAUCRATS UNDER VIGILANT EYE OF ANTI-CORRUPTION DEPARTMENTS Russia has launched an anti-corruption campaign, creating special units within state agencies and ministries to clean them of corrupt officials and perform background checks on potential employees. From now on, every single government ministry, department and agency will contain a subdivision purely devoted to fighting corruption within the department and among its employees. The subdivision will have from 3 to 5 employees, preferably former officials from the FSB or Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will be investigating, performing background checks on every employee, cross-referencing the information they provided on their income assets to make sure there are no briberies taking place, and generally ensuring that all the employees operate under the regulations applicable to civil servants...
