Corruption scandal with russian officials in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

Just recently, Russia has almost ignored international corruption cases, says Chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee Kirill Kabanov – take at least kickbacks to officials (including Russian) from Germany’s Daimler and Siemens. However, in 2012 Russia joined the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials other anti-corruption conventions – and so it becomes more and more difficult for it to ignore such things, he said.
