Bribery Act 2010. (United Kingdom) Wikipedia article.
Described as “the toughest anti-corruption legislation in the world”, concerns have been raised that the United Kingdom’s 2010 Bribery Act criminalises behaviour that is acceptable in the global market, and puts British business at a competitive disadvantage. The Act has a near-universal jurisdiction, allowing for the prosecution of an individual or company with links to the United Kingdom, regardless of where the crime occurred.
