De Panama à Londres : agir contre la corruption légale et illégale au sommet anticorruption du Royaume-Uni

9 May 2016
Daniel Kaufmann, Alexandra Gillies

La fuite des informations du cabinet juridique Mossack Fonseca dans l’affaire des « Panama Papers » a fait et fera la une des journaux pendant des semaines à mesure que de nouveaux noms seront dévoilés. Le scandale a placé le Panama sur le devant de la scène et a donné un aperçu inédit du monde de l’argent caché et de l’évasion fiscale. Afin de mieux saisir le contexte général, il est important de faire la distinction entre la corruption légale, révélée par l’affaire des « Panama Papers » et la corruption illégale, exposée par le scandale Unaoil. Le moment est venu pour les gouvernements de prendre des mesures radicales contre l’une et l’autre.

De Panamá a Londres: La corrupción legal e ilegal necesita de la acción de la cumbre anticorrupción que se celebrará en el Reino Unido

9 May 2016
Daniel Kaufmann, Alexandra Gillies

La información filtrada en los Papeles de Panamá, del bufete de abogados Mossack Fonseca, se ha apropiado de los titulares de las últimas semanas, y así seguirá sucediendo a medida que se divulguen más nombres. El escándalo ubicó a Panamá en la primera plana y causó una exposición sin precedentes del mundo del dinero oculto y la evasión fiscal. Para entenderlo en su contexto más amplio, es preciso distinguir entre la corrupción “legal”, como la expuesta por los Papeles de Panamá, y la corrupción “ilegal”, como la expuesta por el escándalo de Unaoil. Los Gobiernos deben aprovechar la oportunidad para adoptar medidas firmes contra ambas.

Might the U.K. and the U.S. Exhibit Leadership in Addressing State Capture and Legal (as well as Illegal) Corruption?

25 April 2016
Daniel Kaufmann, Alexandra Gillies
It is vital to distinguish between legal corruption (such as that exposed by the Panama Papers) and illegal corruption (such as that exposed by the Unaoil scandal) and recognize that this is a moment for governments to take decisive action against both. Both the U.S. and the U.K.—which hosts the May Anti-Corruption Summit—have an unprecedented opportunity to make a difference.
