Webinar – Dirty Deals: Bribery and Corruption Case Studies

At the center of bribery and corruption scandals are individuals and their enablers who choose to misuse their influence, wealth, and status to improve their own lives, while others suffer the consequences. In this session, learners will be shown local, national, and global corruption.
