An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in unauthorized spending, workplace misconduct, and inappropriate behavior toward female staff.
The probe also alleges 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 whistleblowers accused him of bullying and sending suggestive emails. The scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF, with Schwab denying all allegations and criticizing the board's handling of the probe.
The revelations have fueled broader debates about elite influence, transparency, and governance in global institutions.
