"No one can give lessons to another, whether country or government" Michel Sapin at the JALC

At the African Anti-Corruption Day (JALC) in Abidjan, Michel Sapin, former French Minister of Economy and Finance, stated that no one can lecture others. He traced the evolution of French anti-corruption laws, notably the Sapin 2 law of 2016, and emphasized the need for international cooperation. He recounted an anecdote where the US Attorney General criticized France for being unable to police its own companies' foreign corruption.
