On Wednesday a judge in the US state of Louisiana was impeached for taking bribes; earlier this year Ivory Coast's chamber of commerce said unofficial payments to the police were costing the country $300m.
Bidit in Canada emailed - The corruption is the most dangerous problem in the world now. Leaders are corrupting a lot and forget to work on behalf of their people in their countries. I believe that without support from western world.
