Spain Assessment
Spain Country BriefInstitutional resilience to corruption is modest across Spain’s defence institutions. Parliamentary oversight and financial scrutiny remains limited in practice, particularly in relation to procurement. Access to information and whistleblowing are relatively weak, as are safeguards to corruption on military operations. Nevertheless, personnel management is relatively strong and formal financial transparency is robust.
