Session information

Transnational Enforcement in a Fragmented World: Cooperation, Competition or Compromised?

Thursday 14 May (1400 - 1530)

Description

The recent tripartite agreement between France’s Parquet National Financier (PNF), Switzerland’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG), and the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO), formalised the creation of the International Anti-Corruption Prosecutorial Taskforce. With the United States’ pivot away from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act the panel will consider the current state of international law enforcement in Europe, the US and the Middle East and to what extent the new Taskforce signifies any real change.
