Problem

3.2.2. The majority of individuals guilty of corruption-related offenses as well as offenses in matters relating to the funding of political parties and submission of financial statements by political parties avoid administrative liability and/or penalties by exploiting systemic loopholes in the existing system for holding individuals administratively accountable as well as the flaws of the judicial system.

General information about the problem

The absence of a centralized electronic procedural record keeping system in courts as well as the Unified State Register of Enforcement Documents leads to significant corruption risks caused by abuse of administrative influence as well as risks in the field of documenting and monitoring the enforcement of decisions to hold individuals liable for administrative offenses, and other enforcement documents.
