We are very sad to hear about the passing of Basel Institute on Governance's Director Gretta Fenner.
She was a formidable force voice in anti-corruption and her input in our podcast episodes has been invaluable.
We hope her work and dedication will continue to inspire and push for change❤️

Recognise this is an argument made by one side in the inquiry, but all of it is an accurate reflection of what's happening in Gibraltar + why Transparency International UK has called on the UK Government to intervene lest this growing farce seriously damages the Territory's reputation.
