Financial intelligence units can expose corruption and recover stolen assets – if governments let them. Our research across 20 countries finds most lack the data, powers or independence to do the job. The fix isn't complicated www.transparency.org/en/news/fina...

🔴 Germany plans to heavily restrict the access to public information. Transparency International Germany warns that current plans from senior coalition leaders of the CDU, CSU and SPD – the federal government partners – will gut Germany’s Freedom of Information Act (IFG). 🧵⬇️

PROPOSED CHANGES IN GERMANY’s Freedom of Information Act (IFG) AT A GLANCE:

Restrict access to information by requiring applicants to demonstrate a “legitimate interest,” reversing the principle that public information should be accessible by default.

Remove the right to file information requests for organizations and potentially exclude millions of residents without German or EU citizenship.

Eliminate the current fee cap, potentially making requests prohibitively expensive and turning access to information into a privilege rather than a right.

Allow authorities to routinely redact the names of officials responsible for decisions, reducing accountability and increasing risks of corruption and abuse of power.

Introduce additional grounds for rejecting information requests, making it easier for authorities to withhold information.

We treat fighting corruption and defending human rights as separate causes. They're not. Keeping them apart lets the people behind grand corruption off the hook. Our new guide on breaking down that wall: www.transparency.org/en/publicati...

A high score in the #CPI2025 doesn’t mean a country is free from corruption. Some of the top-ranked countries still let dirty money flow through their financial systems, making it easier for corruption to spread across borders. Full analysis here: anticorru.pt/3ie

In the wake of the United States’ shocking military intervention in Venezuela, Transparency International is calling for restoring democracy to be prioritised, to protect the rights of Venezuelans and address the country’s entrenched corruption crisis. 🔗 anticorru.pt/3gh

François Valérian, Chair of Transparency International, said:

“International laws are there to protect all of us – all governments must respect the rule of law and fundamental rights. The priority now must be restoring a healthy democracy in Venezuela, to ensure its people can shape its future. Any decisions about Venezuela’s oil and natural resources must be made transparently by legitimate Venezuelan leaders acting in the interests of the Venezuelan population, not by the United States.”

Mercedes de Freitas, Executive Director of Transparency International Venezuela, said:

“Years of widespread corruption and illicit activities in Venezuela have seen poverty and malnutrition soar as millions of families survive on limited food, water and electricity, while facing extortion by armed gangs and state officials. To change this reality, we now need an honest and transparent state that is truly accountable to Venezuelans - which respects human rights, guarantees an independent justice system and protects public resources for the benefit of all. The will of the Venezuelan people to live in a free democracy must be respected.”
