  • A Honduran commentary says some businesspeople allegedly treat bribes as a routine operating expense.
  • The author says a businessman described the practice and that similar accounts circulate privately among people familiar with the country’s courts.

Last week, I said aloud something that is usually whispered in Honduras: some businesspeople reportedly budget for bribes as they budget for electricity or paper.

A businessman confessed this to me with the resignation of someone describing the weather. His account did not sound like an isolated anecdote. Similar testimonies, shared privately, are repeated by people who know how our courts function from close up.
