'Complacency' over foreign bribery

Campaigners have accused the Government of "complacency" in tackling foreign bribery, ahead of a report expected to be highly critical of the UK's record in fighting the crime.

An international watchdog ordered an exceptional review of the UK's anti-bribery measures following the decision by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in 2006 to drop an investigation into BAE Systems over an arms deal with Saudi Arabia.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) working group on bribery has spent three days discussing the review in Paris and is due to publish its recommendations.
