More Corruption Scandals

[BWP Alert] Volcker panel releases report on Bank anti-graft
unit

The panel headed by former chairman of the US Federal Reserve Paul

Volcker, created to review the work of the World Bank's anti-corruption
unit, the Department of Institutional Integrity (or 'INT' - headed by
Wolfowitz acolyte Suzanne Rich Folsom), released its 40-page report
today:

The official report comes a few days after US NGO Government
Accountability Project (GAP) released a scathing parallel examination of
INT, finding some very dodgy practices indeed:
