The UK has come in for sharp criticism over its anti-bribery laws, in a report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. (OECD)
An OECD working group, which monitors whether Britain is abiding by an international anti-corruption treaty, called on the UK to enact new foreign bribery legislation and establish effective corporate liability for bribery as a matter of priority; ensure that the attorney general cannot give instructions to the director of the Serious Fraud Office about individual foreign bribery cases, and eliminate the need for attorney general consent to prosecutions of such cases; and ensure high priority is given to foreign bribery cases.
