Portugal has been slacking when it comes to enforcement of its foreign bribery laws, characterized by unsuccessful or cursory investigations or an outright failure to investigate allegations in other cases, according to a report released this week by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The OECD’s Working Group on Bribery completed the review as part of its work in monitoring the implementation of the organization’s Anti-Bribery Convention. The working group consists of representatives from all 34 OECD member countries, as well as Russia, Bulgaria, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and South Africa.
