Latvia: Corruption Scandal · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

All About Latvia reports on the newest corruption scandal and writes about how poverty forces many Latvians to violate the laws: “For a trolleybus conductor I met on my recent trip to Latvia, this was a matter of survival. Instead of a normal fee, she charged me less without giving me a ticket. That means, she will not be accountable for the money she had received and can take it as an extra pay.”
