Monaco’s efforts to tackle corruption were brought into focus on Tuesday, October 20, as the Monegasque Institute for Training in Judicial Professions organised a conference examining how corruption can be identified, prevented and punished…
Held at the courthouse, the event brought together four expert speakers from Monaco and France to discuss the warning signs of corruption and the measures needed to protect public institutions. Speakers emphasised that corruption undermines not only the integrity of government but also public confidence in those entrusted with authority.
The conference comes ahead of an important assessment by the Council of Europe’s Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), which is due to examine Monaco’s compliance report during its November session.

Jean-Laurent Ravera, head of Monaco’s delegation to GRECO, outlined the Principality’s coordinated approach to implementing international recommendations. A dedicated steering committee has been established to coordinate Monaco’s implementation of GRECO’s recommendations and facilitate cooperation between the relevant public authorities. Separate anti-corruption strategies have also been developed for senior public officials and the police.
More than ten regulatory measures, covering approximately 180 legal provisions, have already been adopted or amended, with further reforms planned through to 2028.
The discussions reinforced the importance of transparency and accountability in maintaining public trust. Corruption prevention will also feature prominently in the December edition of Monaco Droit, the journal dedicated to Monegasque law.
