Corruption in Mexico has permeated several segments of society – political, economic, and social – and has greatly affected the country’s legitimacy, transparency, accountability, and effectiveness.[1] Many of these dimensions have evolved as a product of Mexico’s legacy of elite, oligarchic consolidation of power and authoritarian rule.[1] In the 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index – a measure between 0 (highly corrupt) and 100 (very clean) of the perceived levels of public sector corruption in 175 countries and territories – Mexico scored a 35, and was ranked as one of the top 75 most corrupt countries in the world.[2]
