Corruption in Bolivia is a major problem that has been called an accepted part of life in the country.[1] It can be found at all levels of Bolivian society. Citizens of the country perceive the judiciary, police and public administration generally as the country's most corrupt.[1] Corruption is also widespread among officials who are supposed to control the illegal drug trade and among those working in and with extractive industries.[2]
Many Bolivians are uneducated and thus unaware of their rights as citizens or of laws against corruption.[3]
