  Also awarded fugliest human of the year.
context: The finalists of the award alongside Prigozhin in 2022 were: the Court of Justice of the European Union, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.
  Prigozhin replaced the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, in this "post", who was the corrupt official of the year in 2021. >
  
  TIL that the ECJ recently struck down a directive on transparency and anti-corruption, as it ruled in favour of the financial secrecy of organisations based on "privacy concerns". Making it much easier for oligarchs, money launderers and tax dodgers to secretly funnel money to EU tax havens. >
