Dominic Raab – 2021 Comments on Global Anti-Corruption Sentences

The comments made by Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, on 26 April 2021.

Corruption has a corrosive effect as it slows development, drains the wealth of poorer nations and keeps their people trapped in poverty. It poisons the well of democracy.

The individuals we have sanctioned today have been involved in some of the most notorious corruption cases around the world.

Global Britain is standing up for democracy, good governance and the rule of law. We are saying to those involved in serious corruption: we will not tolerate you or your dirty money in our country.
