Morgan Johansson

The OECD Working Group on Bribery has since 2012 repeatedly urged Sweden to reform its laws to ensure the investigation and prosecution of companies that bribe foreign public officials to obtain advantages in international business. Sweden’s legal provisions to hold companies liable for foreign bribery do not fully meet the requirements of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.

On Wednesday 12 June, Minister for Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson will hold a press briefing with Drago Kos, Chair of the OECD Working Group on Bribery.

Catharina Espmark is State Secretary to the Minister for Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson.

Lars Westbratt is State Secretary to Minister for Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson at the Ministry of Justice.
