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, sparking accusations of political interference. Schwab and his wife reportedly benefited from over $1 million in questionable travel expenses, while whistleblowers claim he bullied staff and sent suggestive emails. Schwab has denied all allegations, but the scandal has raised serious questions about the WEF's credibility and governance.
The controversy threatens the reputation of the Davos summit and its role in global economic and political discourse.
