Roberto Saviano, a journalist who spent a decade exposing the
criminal dealings of the Italian Mafia, says Britain is the most corrupt country in the world.
The 36-year-old has been living under police protection since 2006 after revealing news about members of the Camorra, a powerful Neapolitan branch of the mafia.
He told an audience at Hay-on-Wye: that “the most
corrupt place on Earth it’s not Afghanistan,
Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy but it’s the UK.
“It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics
but what is corrupt is the financial capital. 90 per cent of the owners
of capital in London have their headquarters offshore.
The UK ranked 10th in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index 2015, which measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide.
