Anti-graft council created amid probe on state corruption. "The [Philippine] Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC)…formed a new inter-agency task force to bring its campaign against graft and corruption to the lowest level of the government, as the administration faces questions over allegedly anomalous deals. More than 40 agencies under the Executive branch signed a memorandum of agreement to form the National Anti-Corruption Coordinating Council, which will institutionalize anti-corruption committees (ACCs) in all levels of government."

Opinion: Why police reform hasn't come to Thailand (Opinion). "In Nakhon Sawan province, a 24-year old man arrested for selling methamphetamine pills suffocated to death as corrupt Thai police officers attempted to extort a bribe of two million baht for his release…Police reform is a tired subject because somehow, attempts have failed or not lived up to their billing. Second, police association with corruption, cronyism, and failure are well known and their brutal history extends much deeper than the death of Jeerapong Thanapat."

Corruption in China: ex-judges and prosecutors caught breaking rules on conflicts of interest. "Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the country's top law enforcement agency, last week, was told that 7,640 former judges and prosecutors who have left their posts since 2012 have continued to practise law. Of these, some 2,044 – or nearly 30 per cent – had violated the rules that ban them from working on cases related to their former roles, with 101 acting as "judicial brokers" – a term applied to those who use their connections to help people bribe judges.
