    Corruption is everywhere; in politics, in business, in sport…

    … and all across the world.

    Corruption includes:

    • Bribery
    • Embezzlement
    • Money-laundering
    • Falsified evidence
    • Match-fixing
    • and Election fraud.

    Corruption occurs in developed and developing nations.

    It destabilises economies and societies.

    Resulting in inequality, danger and misery for millions of people.
