OECD Working Group on Bribery expresses strong concerns about Poland’s lack of progress in fighting foreign bribery

The OECD has called on Poland to urgently address major shortcomings in its implementation of the Anti-Bribery Convention, citing minimal progress since 2022. Key issues include stalled judicial independence reforms, lack of corporate liability enforcement, inadequate whistleblower protections, and no national strategy to combat foreign bribery. Positive steps include progress on money laundering recommendations and new prosecutorial guidelines. Poland must submit an action plan by March 2025 for review.
