PUBLIC/PRIVATE SECTOR CORRUPTION ISSUE

Corruption is potentially devastating. If not kept in check, it has the potential to cause serious damage to government and business – indeed to every aspect of economic and social life. We need to be constantly on our guard against corruption – it is a complex crime, by its very nature insidious and its effects stretch across international borders. Corruption world-wide weakens democracy, harms economies, impedes sustainable development and can undermine respect for human rights by supporting corrupt governments, with widespread destabilizing consequences. We are duty-bound to promote high standards of fairness and propriety and to ensure that all UK citizens do not contribute to corruption either at home or abroad. In the last few years, a number of important changes to the law have been made. These include:

The Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, which extends UK jurisdiction to corruption offences committed abroad by UK nationals and incorporated bodies.
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, which strengthens the law on money laundering and sets up an Assets Recovery Agency to investigate and recover assets and wealth obtained as a result of unlawful criminal activity.

If you are not familiar with the investigation of National and International corruption offences or you employ investigators, why not phone for further information.
