UAE widens scope of penal code to fight corruption:
President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has decreed changes to the UAE Penal Code that boost the country’s anti-corruption legislation.
The penal code is now more wide-ranging than before, covering both foreign and domestic acts of bribery. The decree covers both the public and private sectors, as well as international organisations.
The amendments to the penal code, which take effect immediately, have brought anti-corruption regulations in the UAE more in line with other jurisdictions, with the inclusion of foreign public officials.
