Wealthy countries 'allowing corruption to go unchecked'


Wealthy industrialised countries including the UK are allowing overseas bribery to go unchecked through insufficient regulation of their private sectors, an anti-corruption group warned today.
The latest Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index said the poorest countries still had the highest levels of corruption.
However, it added that the data casts a "critical light on government commitment [in wealthy countries] to rein in the questionable methods of their companies in acquiring and managing overseas business, in addition to domestic concerns about issues such as the role of money in politics".
