OECD Reprimands Japan, Italy, and Switzerland for Poor Enforcement of Anti-Bribery Laws

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has issued reports on the corruption enforcement efforts in Japan, Italy, and Switzerland.  The OECD critizied Japan for poor implementation of its anti-bribery laws, and for only prosecuting two cases since their inception.  Italy was criticized for only sanctioning 3 companies and 9 individuals, and Switzerland was rebuked for only successfully prosecuting one individual, despite the strong possibility of corruption in its financial sector. The OECD urged reforms and that the signatory countries take more action to combat corruption and bribery.
