CAIRO, Dec 16 (Aswat Masriya) - Financial and administrative corruption in the government apparatus has exceeded 100,000 cases this year, the administrative prosecution spokesman said in statement on Tuesday.

The nature of these cases was not disclosed.

Private regulations allowed for the squandering of millions of Egyptian pounds on high officials' rewards and nepotism, Abdel Nasser Khattab added in a statement.

The index, released annually by Transparency International to track corruption levels worldwide, reported that Egypt’s integrity level scored 37 out of 100 this year, as opposed to 32 last year.
