Respondents were asked the following questions: "Has a police officer asked you for a bribe in the last twelve months? In the last twelve months, did any government employee ask you for a bribe?" The source specifies that the answers to these questions were converted to an index, based on which the percentage of respondents who were victims of bribery was calculated.
In a survey carried out in 2023, between 12 and 17 percent of respondents in Paraguay said that they had been asked or had to pay a bribe in different interactions with public authorities (police officers and/or government employees). Overall, in Latin America that year, briberies done by police officers were slightly higher than those of public officials.
