Law360 has published the article “Inside World Bank’s New Report On Fraud And Corruption,” written by Akin Gump international trade partner Jonathan Poling, counsel Rebekah Jones and associate Johann Strauss.

The authors proceed to provide background on INT investigations and enforcement activities, highlights from the report and statistics for fiscal year 2016.
