With the International Anti-Corruption Prosecutorial Taskforce having been announced, Aziz Rahman assessed the factors facing the joint British, French and Swiss initiative.
In a piece for FT Adviser, Aziz explains the Taskforce’s creation comes after years of less formal cooperation – but just weeks after the United States paused enforcement under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
He argues that the Taskforce indicates European authorities’ willingness to lead on multijurisdictional bribery and corruption investigations and fill the “US-sized enforcement void’’.
Aziz raises the possibility of other nations joining the Taskforce and adds that tackling overseas corruption can be a major revenue-raising activity. He warns that “future multinational arrangements may need some coordinating if they are to be efficient and avoid the risk of becoming a free for all’’. But he believes “the logistics should not be beyond those involved’’.
