An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found that its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in unauthorized spending, workplace misconduct, and inappropriate behavior toward female staff.
The probe also alleges that Schwab manipulated WEF research data to undermine Brexit, raising concerns about the organization's impartiality. Schwab and his wife reportedly benefited from over $1 million in questionable travel expenses, while whistleblower complaints triggered the investigation. Schwab has denied all allegations, but the scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF and renewed scrutiny of elite global institutions.
The controversy highlights broader concerns about governance, transparency, and political influence within international organizations.
