SPAK's work in 2023/ The number of people convicted of corruption increases

The Center for the Study of Democracy and Governance (CSDG) published the 2020-23 annual comparative report on the work of the Special Prosecutor's Office (SPAK) and the Special Courts against Corruption and Organized Crime.

The study notes that the number of new investigation cases for corruption has decreased during 2023, but the number of convicts who have been tried for corruption has increased significantly.

The statistics show an increase in investigations by SPAK in matters of organized crime, as well as the number of suspects for these crimes.

In the Special Courts, the study emphasizes that there have been more investigations and decisions on criminal cases, where high-level officials are accused, the time of consideration of criminal cases has been significantly shortened, while the average workload for judges remains high.

Criminal prosecution by SPAK for corruption cases has increased continuously in 4 years, reaching 447 cases of suspected corruption in 2023.

However, a low corruption prosecution rate was recorded last year, as only 38 cases or 8.5% of cases were sent to trial in 2023, compared to 43 cases or 10.2% in 2022 and 33 cases or 21% in 2020.

Corruption cases sent to court decreased last year, and with them the number of defendants dropped significantly from 208 to 142 people suspected of corruption.

But on the other hand, the defendants for corruption, who end up with a sentence, increased significantly last year. Convictions for corruption reached 174 people in 2023, from 140 in 2022 and only 29 in 2020.

Corruption cases filed have doubled during 2023.

The prosecution of organized crime by SPAK has marked a continuous increase in cases, as well as the number of defendants for these crimes, although the number of cases sent to court remained at the same levels./ CNA
