This page examines corruption in Cyprus. ExtentThe government of Cyprus has in theory made some progress in fighting against corruption, and one of them is the amendment to its Criminal Code in 2012 which provides the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption{{citation needed|date=January 2014}}. The strong and independent judicial system is able to ensure the protection of property rights; therefore, foreign investors do not consider corruption a pressing issue for doing business in Cyprus.[1] However, a whistleblower protection law is needed in the country in order to ensure an effective anti-corruption measure. It is also important to note that money-laundering remains a serious problem in the country. In addition, corruption scandals involving politicians from major political parties are not uncommon and when these get uncovered, little to no effort in taken to pursue them. The usual “defense” employed by accused politicians, involves official statements indicating that “they know too much” and if their case is pursued, they will uncover dirt involving other political party members. [2] Transparency International's 2017 Corruption Perception Index ranks the country 42nd place out of 180 countries.[3] 2013 Global Corruption Barometer report of TI shows that 72% of respondents believe that level of corruption increased in Cyprus[4] See also
