Following the assessment, fifty-one of these were deemed corruption-related and recommended for either preliminary or full investigation, while forty were classified as non-corruption matters and referred accordingly.

FICAC did not initiate any legal proceedings in March 2025.

A total of seven cases were disposed of by the Courts for the reporting period

In addition to its reactive functions, FICAC remains deeply committed to fulfilling its mandate through proactive measures.

The Commission places strong emphasis on anti-corruption awareness and education, ensuring that the preventive efforts are effectively implemented to foster a culture of integrity across all levels of society.
