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 billed over $1 million in questionable travel expenses, while whistleblowers accused him of bullying and sending suggestive emails. Schwab has denied all allegations, but the scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF and renewed scrutiny of elite global organizations.
The controversy highlights broader issues of governance, transparency, and political influence within international institutions.
