Business-related corruption in the Nordic countries (KORPEN 2)

Corruption in Finland and other Nordic countries is low, according to international studies. However, Nordic Financial Institutions and other corporations can be exploited through, for example, paying bribes and laundering payoff money. The KORPEN 2 project (Korruption i samband med näringsverksamhet i Norden ‒ Business related corruption in Nordic countries) studies the interlinkages of money laundering and corruption in international business and the ability of different agencies to identify and analyse these in their functions. The project continues the work started in a preliminary study implemented between November 2020 and February 2021.
