OECD Anti-Bribery Convention Report on Sweden details its achievements and challenges, including in enforcing its anti-foreign bribery laws

The Working Group’s Phase 4 evaluation highlights Sweden’s inadequate corporate liability framework for foreign bribery, with no company ever sanctioned and weak enforcement due to legal, resource, and evidentiary challenges. Key recommendations of the report include clarifying liability for third-party bribery, ensuring corporate accountability independent of natural person prosecutions, strengthening sanctions, and improving enforcement of false accounting offences.
