Transparency International said Tuesday that Italy ranked 52nd out of 180 countries in the world for the level of perceived corruption in 2024 and 19th out of the European Union's 27 member states, according to ANSA.
The report said Italy's perceived corruption score dropped two points with respect to 2023 to 54, the first fall since 2012.
A country's score is the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 means very clean.
Denmark came first in the index with a score of 90.
