An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in unauthorized spending, inappropriate workplace behavior, and possible manipulation of research data for political purposes.
Schwab allegedly billed over $1 million in questionable travel expenses and sent inappropriate communications to female staff. The probe also claims the WEF rigged competitiveness rankings to undermine Brexit, raising concerns about the organization's credibility and governance. Schwab has denied all allegations, but the scandal has sparked a crisis of confidence in the WEF's leadership and its role in global policy.
The controversy highlights broader concerns about elite influence, transparency, and the integrity of international institutions.
