Corruption is running out of excuses - 2002 - Construction News (6775) 18 July 2002, 25(1) .

Highlights the Anti-terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001 s108 which emphasises that it is 'immaterial' if the affairs or business of a person who receives or is offered a reward has 'no connection with the UK and are conducted in a country or territory outside the UK'. This means that UK laws on corruption now include offences committed overseas. This effects UK nationals, companies and partnerships, and the maximum penalty for bribery and corruption is seven years.
