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?"
In a survey carried out in 2023, about two percent of respondents in El Salvador said that they had been asked or had to pay a bribe in different interactions with public authorities (police officers and/or government employees). Among Latin American countries, El Salvador ranked at the bottom of bribery victimization that year.
