In Romania, what's a little corruption?
BUCHAREST, Romania — Hundreds of thousands protested in Romania's capital and in major cities Wednesday after the government adopted a last-minute executive order that undermines the country's anti-corruption efforts.The measure decriminalizes abuses of office if the financial damage involved is less than $48,000. That's more than twice the average Romanian's annual income of $22,300, according to the CIA World Factbook.
