The present study, commissioned by FRONTEX, provides academic and policy perspectives, as well
as empirical data on corruption and anti-corruption measures observed in border guard institutions
across the 27 Member States of the European Union. The report compares and analyses anti-corruption
measures in EU Member States’ border guard services, as well as the strategies and instruments used in
corruption investigations of border guards. The purpose of this study was to provide border guards with
a general overview of the relevant academic and policy research available on the subject of corruption,
as well as to review and analyse mechanisms of corruption and the principal anti-corruption measures
targeting them.
