OUR GLOBAL MOVEMENT
Maintaining trust and confidence in public institutions, government decision-making, business and the rule of law will be crucial to managing the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuring a successful recovery. As ordinary citizens are being asked to make extraordinary sacrifices in response to the public health crisis, transparency, openness and accountability are essential to ensuring this trust is maintained.
Transparency International UK is one of several leading anti-corruption non-governmental organisations working together as the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition. We urge the UK Government to take the steps outlined in the statement below. Doing so will support an emergency response that is effective, helps to maintain public confidence and lays the foundations for an inclusive economic recovery.
Through forensic analysis of more than 400 corruption and money laundering cases – amounting to an estimated £325 billion (US$412 billion) – At Your Service presents groundbreaking new research that sheds fresh light on the role played by UK services and institutions in the biggest corruption scandals of recent decades.
This in-depth investigation identified nearly 600 UK businesses, institutions, and individuals who have helped corrupt individuals, unwittingly or otherwise, obtain, move and defend their ill-gotten gains.
