Bribery Enforcement in the UK
Bribes paid by individuals and businesses to win public contracts help sustain corrupt systems and regimes. Tackling bribery helps build trust in public institutions, ensures strong democratic governments and sustainable development.
The UK Bribery Act 2010 established one of the world’s most comprehensive anti-corruption legal frameworks, criminalising both the giving and receiving of bribes as well as creating a corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery. This chart tracks prosecutions and convictions under these provisions since 2013/14, breaking down enforcement by offence type and distinguishing between individual and corporate defendants. These trends provide insight into how actively UK authorities have been enforcing anti-bribery legislation over time.
