To mark World Anti-Corruption Day, the Thuringian Anti-Corruption Centre has published an explanatory film on the topic of corruption. The film presents the topic in an understandable and illustrative way. In addition to the aspect of corruption prevention, the film also aims to draw attention to the current regulations prohibiting the acceptance of rewards, gifts and other benefits. The film is aimed at both employees of the Free State of Thuringia and interested members of the public with the aim of raising awareness of the issue of corruption.

Corruption is not a trivial offence, but a criminal offence. Corruption damages the public's basic trust in the independence, incorruptibility and ability to act of the state and its officials. In addition, corruption often results in high financial losses that are borne by the general public. For this reason, regular prevention and awareness-raising measures are important in order to prevent corruption offences at an early stage or to better recognise and report them.
