🗣️🎧Listen to the latest podcast of the Center for the Study of Corruption’s podcast Kickback 👉🏼👉🏼Prof. Prof Liz David-Barrett speaks to Tom Burgis about his work investigating corruption across different continents
I really enjoyed reading Tom Burgis’ latest book, and here’s a taster for those who haven’t read it yet!
The book covers party donations, bribery in int business, money and reputation laundering, and lawfare
Tomorrow, I will be at the Ministry of Justice talking about lawfare against research on kleptocracy & then in Parliament for the launch of the cross-party APPG on Anti-Corruption & Responsible Tax economic crime manifesto.
You can’t fight kleptocracy if you can’t research it.

There is great political momentum towards countering the scourge of “lawfare” waged by the rich and powerful against legitimate scrutiny, like when oligarchs went after Catherine Belton. But a new draft law lacks crucial elements. (2/3)

“The truth is the English civil law is a luxury good that is far beyond the means of most citizens of this country.” A perceptive The Spectator review by Nick Cohen of my new book Cuckooland, “a rip-roaring account of the overweening power of money”. (1/3)

This is terribly sad. Gretta was a wonderfully warm, kind and thoughtful person as well as an inspiring leader in our field, absolutely dedicated and brilliant. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts at Centre for the Study of Corruption are with her family and loved ones.
