A leading anti-corruption lawyer, Mr Ugaz will discuss the impact of corruption on communities across the globe and the ways his organisation works to tackle it. Mr Ugaz has said: ‘I know what corruption is and how to fight it. The corrupt need to see Transparency International as their biggest fear. Nobody is above the law.’

Prior to taking the helm of TI, the global coalition against corruption, in 2014, Mr Ugaz was president of the organisation’s chapter in Peru. His election to Chair was the first time in TI’s 21-year history that a leader of one of its chapters was chosen for the position.

When he served as Ad Hoc Attorney General of Peru, Mr Ugaz prosecuted hundreds of government officials. He led the corruption case against the former President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, and his chief of intelligence, Vladimiro Montesinos. Mr Fujimori is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.
