Russian corruption ‘out of control’ (by Al Jazeera)

Valery Morozov, a successful Russian businessman has been granted political asylum in Britain after exposing an alleged corruption scandal involving officials and police in Russia.

Hoping to build a hotel in time for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, he says he paid about $10.5m in bribes to keep the contract from a competitor with close ties to the government, contributing to an estimated $300bn in bribes paid by Russians every year, according to the anti-corruption organisation Transparency International.

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from Moscow on the corruption that many Russians say is becoming a part of everyday life for them.
