The Guardian: Moldova has the highest number of civil libel court cases in Europe

British newspaper The Guardian recently published an article on defamation laws, written on the occasion of some domestic reforms in the United Kingdom.

It has a paragraph on Moldova:

"European courts, for example, process far more civil defamation cases than any other region, with an average of 700 cases in each country annually. Moldova has the highest number of court cases in Europe, relative to the size of its population, and the highest amount of damages awarded was 80 times the per capita GDP for the country."

The whole thing is available here.
