The President of the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), Justice Marin Mrčela, was the Official Speaker during the Investiture Ceremony of Their Excellencies the Captains Regent, Lorella Stefanelli and Nicola Renzi, on 1 October 2015.

“The recent financial crisis- stressed the President of GRECO – has acutely evidenced the pervasive effects of mismanagement, dishonesty, conflicts of interest and corruption in both public life and private sector. No issue does more to alienate citizens and to undermine political stability than corruption among the key branches of the States. GRECO, in the course of its evaluation cycles, made sharp and clear recommendations to drive anticorruption policy forward the highest standards of integrity, openness and transparency.”
