I've been battling high-level corruption for many years, and this is how you know me. The battle against corruption is all about having the correct laws and enforcing them. All of this takes bravery, but also experience and punishment". This was said by European Chief Prosecutor Laura Kyoveshi during the symposium "Anti-corruption, democratic stability, and economic security" being held in Sofia.
Koveshi noted that disinformation is presently targeting our democratic societies, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing falsehoods from reality, good from evil, and actually knowing what is fair. "The fight against corruption is related to convincing citizens that corruption has an impact on their lives," she said.
According to the European Prosecutor General, no country is immune to corruption.
In practice, Kyoveshi noted, fighting corruption is really tough. People, she claims, are unaware of the dangers that corruption and financial mismanagement pose to the European Union (EU) and citizens' safety. She pointed out that major VAT violations, for example, are related to a variety of other more serious criminal acts.
We must, in her words, "think outside the box." Kyoveshi is certain that we should not compare or diminish the financial capability of criminal organizations. "Our policy is to focus on uncovering organized criminal groups," she added.
Koveshi went on to say that we need to prioritize, pull up our sleeves, and get to work because people need to know that justice is something they can experience.
"I realized that I could only win over the citizens if I worked constantly." "I realized that we had to do our jobs and always do our best," said the European Prosecutor General. /BGNES
