Klaus has repeatedly denied any misconduct and reiterated his denial after the official report was published. The probe also found that Schwab and his wife, Hilde, filed more than $1.1 million in travel expenses, including first-class flights for Hilde on Forum trips that did not require her attendance. Schwab additionally accepted gifts, from personalized Tiffany cufflinks to Russian tea sets, and billed hotel massages to the Forum. Schwab stepped down as chair of the Forum\u2019s board of trustees over Easter weekend, shortly after an investigation into the organization\u2019s workplace culture was launched in response to whistleblower complaints. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"read-it-at-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/world-economic-forum-probe-of-klaus-schwab-finds-unauthorized-spending-and-inappropriate-behavior-bec3dc4f?mod=hp_lead_pos3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Read it at The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The World Economic Forum\u2019s founder has been revealed to have sent inappropriate emails to female staffers and billed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":88290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[59223,50,7623,103,33536],"class_list":{"0":"post-88289","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-davos","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-the-wall-street-journal","11":"tag-world","12":"tag-world-economic-forum"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114907522196154870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
