Green Light for a new Sapin III Anticorruption Law

Five years after Sapin 2 law was born, Bruno Le Maire’s cabinet gives the green light for what sounds like a new “Sapin 3” law. The Sapin 2 law marked a real turning point in the fight against corruption in France by introducing significant changes into law, creating the French Anticorruption Agency (AFA), and adding a preventive dimension that did not exist elsewhere: the obligation for certain private companies to put in place anti-corruption measures.

In their report delivered on July 7, 2021, Deputies Raphaël Gauvain and Olivier Marleix, co-rapporteurs of the French National Assembly’s Law Commission in charge of evaluating the Sapin 2 Law,  made a positive assessment of the Sapin II law, but note that France has not made any progress in the international indices of perception of corruption since 2015. They noted that in 2020, France was ranked 23rd on Transparency International’s CPI , the same level as in 2015.

They are therefore making 50 proposals to give the Sapin 2 law a new lease of life to strengthen the fight against corruption in France. Proposed bill n ° 4586 is directly inspired by the report.
