Spanish Corruption
It’s a well known fact that many political officials adopt unethical proceedings in the course of their duties. You’ll often hear stories about ‘back handers’ given to obtain planning permission, tax evasion, priority given to the Spanish, fraud and bribery.
This all sounds rather drastic, however, you should be aware that it does go on and Spain has been reported in the press as being one of the most corrupt countries in the European Union. This is another good reason to keep your wits about you when conducting any financial transaction in Spain and make sure you always fully understand what’s being said to you.
