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.
Schwab is also accused of manipulating WEF research data to undermine Brexit, allegedly instructing staff to lower the UK's global competitiveness ranking. The probe uncovered over $1 million in questionable travel expenses and a pattern of bullying and suggestive communications. Schwab has denied all allegations, but the scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF and raised concerns about governance and transparency in global elite organizations.
The controversy has fueled public distrust and intensified scrutiny of the WEF's influence on international policy and business.
