Verdict details
Confidence: 75%
Evidence quality: MEDIE
**What was analyzed:** The article presents information about the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of Transparency International, including the methodology, the ranking of top countries, and Romania's position, based on last year's data (2023). **What sources confirm:** External sources confirm the CPI methodology, the fact that Denmark is perceived as the least corrupt country, and that Transparency International publishes this index annually. However, Denmark's exact score is 90 points, not 89, according to the latest data for 2023. **Limitations:** No external evidence was found to confirm Romania's score (45 points) and comparisons with neighboring countries, the trend of decreasing numbers of countries with high scores (from 12 to 5), or the score and ranking of the United States (64 points, 29th place) for the CPI report 2023. **Conclusion:** The article contains accurate information about the CPI methodology and the country ranked first, but presents a slightly incorrect score…
