"Ghost money": Is the CIA its own worst enemy?
Depressing but not shocking: that would be the reaction of most to reports that the CIA and MI6 have given large amounts of cash to senior members of the Afghan government to buy influence. What is perhaps different this time around is the number of people—both from Afghanistan and the international community—who have openly declared that such behaviour is not in the best interests of the country, is a waste of resources, and ultimately does not buy you the cooperation you’re aiming for.
The latest casualties of corruption
British ‘businessman’ James McCormick has been found guilty of fraud for selling utterly useless bomb detectors around the world, including a major contract in Iraq. He paid millions of pounds in bribes to at least 15 senior Iraqi officials. This resulted in over 6,000 fake bomb detectors sold to the country, hundreds of people killed because of them, and McCormick pocketing £55 million from the Iraqi government for the job. Would Iraq be different if that £55 million had been spent in a transparent way on education, infrastructure, and enterprise?
The starting gun in the marathon to control arms
During our team's recent visit to New York for the Arms Trade Treaty Conference, the United Nations marked the “International Day of Happiness” on 20 March. But for our project officer Tobias Bock, our Senior Expert on Arms Trade Rob Wright, this celebration came two weeks too early: the appropriate date to celebrate was 2 April, when an overwhelming majority of states at the UN General Assembly voted in favour of the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).
Corruption pieces in the Mali puzzle
With the international community trying to figure out the best approach to supporting stability in Mali, they should bear in mind addressing the root causes of the conflict, notably corruption, in order to achieve sustainable peace.
Filling the gap in defence training
Anti-corruption training is not adequately addressed in the majority of countries surveyed in our GI. Our team has been addressing this gap through Building Integrity courses which have been delivered to over 600 mid to senior defence staff since 2008. Two recent reports surveying course alumni found this course has had a large and measurable impact.
A lesson for all defence companies
Italian prosecutors are investigating allegations that Finmeccanica's CEO Giuseppe Orsi and AgustaWestland's CEO Bruno Spagnolini authorised the payment of bribes to win the €560 million contract for the sale of 12 AW101 helicopters to India in 2010. This arrest comes a year after the previous CEO of Finmeccanica, Pier Francesco Guarguaglini resigned in 2011 after allegations of corruption in connection with his wife, who ran the Finmeccanica subsidiary Selex. What do these repeated allegations of corruption tell us about the defence industry as a whole?
From Arab Spring to Arab Summer
In a new report focusing on the Middle East and North Africa, the study found that all 19 countries included in this study are placed in Bands D, E and F, hence at high risk of corruption in the sector. So what do the countries in this region have in common, according to the Index? Apart from the secrecy already mentioned, patronage and a lack of public involvement in defence decisions are widespread shortcomings.
