North Macedonia PM probes corruption in public institutions after customs official arrested with bribes
North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski announced on Sunday that authorities are investigating multiple suspected cases of corruption within public institutions, following the arrest of a deputy director in the Customs Bureau caught with over €17,000 in bribes.
Mickoski’s statement underscores a broader crackdown on graft, with officials monitoring several ongoing cases. He delivered a direct warning to corrupt public servants, signaling zero tolerance for such conduct. The Customs Bureau incident, involving a high-ranking official, has prompted heightened scrutiny of public sector integrity.
The prime minister’s remarks come as part of a wider push to address systemic corruption, with investigations now extending beyond the initial customs case. No further details on the number of cases or additional suspects were provided .
