Corruption: Latin America Worse - Brazil and Mexico have become more corrupt, but Haiti remains the worst in Latin America.

“A majority of countries in Latin America have become more corrupt the past year, while only a few have improved, according to a new survey from Transparency International. The 2006 Corruptions Perceptions Index tracks various corruption polls in 163 countries worldwide, including 20 in Latin America.

Brazil and Mexico, Latin America’s two largest economies, both saw declines, while Argentina (the third-largest economy) improved. Chile kept its position as the least-corrupt country in the region, while Haiti remains the worst.”
