Corruption
Corruption is a severe issue in Hungary.[4] According to Transparency International Hungary, almost one-third of top managers claim they regularly bribe politicians.[4] Most people (42%) in Hungary think that the sector most affected by bribery is the political party system.[5]
Bribery is common in the healthcare system in the form of gratitude payment–92% of all people think that some payment should be made to the head surgeon conducting a heart operation or an obestetrician for a child birth.[6]
By location
Jozsef Hatala of the National Police (ORFK) stated in 2011 that the criminal underworld is strongest in Budapest and its surrounding counties.[3] Hatala also stated that the majority of criminal offenses outright were carried out in Hungary’s north-eastern county (Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County).[3]
