Dangerous and illegal waste dumps have emerged around Bratislava
Several dangerous and illegal waste dumps have emerged around Bratislava and Senec due to corrupt officials and policemen, and construction waste is being used in building the Bratislava highway bypass, according to the Stop Corruption NGO. The police recently arrested several bureaucrats in the environmental departments of district offices in Bratislava and Senec, businesspeople who authorized the bribes, and a police officer in charge of investigating environmental crimes. They conspired to allow dumping of construction waste in fields in exchange for bribes.
