This is the most corrupt state in the world, according to mafia expert

Britain is the most corrupt country in the world, according to journalist Roberto Saviano, who spent more than a decade exposing the criminal acts of the Italian mafia.

The 36-year-old has been under police protection since the publication of the proclamations on members of Camorra, a powerful subsidiary of the Nazi mafia, in 2006.

He told an audience in Hay-on-Way: “If I asked you what the most corrupt place in the world is, you could tell me it's Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, South Italy and I would say it's the United Kingdom.

It's not the bureaucracy, it's not the police, it's not the politics, but the one who's corrupt is financial capital. 90% of capital owners in London have their central offices on the open sea.

“Jersey and Cayman are the gates that access criminal capital in Europe and the UK is the country that allows it. That's why it's so hard for me to talk to you today, because I want to tell you, this belongs to you, this belongs to your life, this belongs to your government. ”

The United Kingdom ranks 10th in the International Transparency of Corruption Perceptions Index 2015, which measures public sector corruption levels worldwide.

Mr. Saviono also influenced the European referendum debate, arguing that a vote adopting the departure would expose the United Kingdom to organised crime even more.

He said: “Leaving Europe means letting this happen. It means allowing Qatar companies, Mexican drug families, the Russian mafia to gain even more power, and the Hongong Bank Corporation and Shanghai paid 2 billion euros in fines to the United States government, because it showed that it had laundered money coming from Iranian cartels and companies. We have proof, we have proof. ”
