Mongolia bribes recovery / Indonesians attitude on corruption and environment / History lessons from French Viet Nam

Mongolia: USD 224 thousand recovered during the investigation.  “Investigators from the [Independent Authority Against Corruption of Mongolia] have transferred large sums of bribes seized during criminal investigations [of N. Bayarsaikhan, who received a large amount of bribes from citizens and business entities during his tenure as head of the division of the Specialized Inspection Agency] to the state treasury account of the Ministry of Finance.”

Indonesians’ attitudes to corruption and the environment – results of new survey released on 18 August.  To gain a better insight into what the Indonesian public thinks about this issue and others relevant to corruption, governance and natural resources, the Basel Institute on Governance and Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI), the leading Indonesian pollster, jointly conducted polls and interviews during July 2021. A virtual event on 18 August will present the study’s findings.”

Nation-Building and Corruption: A Warning from French Vietnam (Blog).  “In attempting to build this new country, however, French leaders turned a blind eye to a corruption scheme—the so-called “Piastres Affair”—that would gravely weaken this enterprise… Much as unchecked corruption in French Indochina led to French taxpayers footing the bill for their enemy, reports have shown that corrupt Pakistani officials have taken American aid to Pakistan and funneled large chunks of the aid to the Taliban in Afghanistan.”
