Bribery in Mexico

Where the kickbacks kick

On May 10th Transparency International, an anti-corruption outfit, published a survey of 15,000 Mexican homes on bribery. It found wide regional variations. Palm-greasing was far more common in and around Mexico City than in Baja California Sur, suggesting more-populated areas have more unmet demand for public services. Overall, Transparency reckons Mexicans paid 32 billion pesos ($2.5 billion) of bribes in 2010.
