26/04/2019: The OECD Working Group on Bribery has repeatedly recommended since 2012 that Russia rectify key legislative deficiencies in order to comply with the Anti-Bribery Convention. Russia must also increase foreign bribery enforcement, having failed to investigate or prosecute a case involving the bribery of foreign public officials in the seven years since ratifying the Anti-Bribery Convention.
