The Danish Government advises that suspected incidents of foreign bribery be reported to the Statsadvokaten for Særlig Økonomisk Kriminalitet (SØK) (Public Prosecutor for Serious Economic Crime). Anonymous reporting is permitted. Verbal and written reports can be accepted in Danish (official language) and in English. To call Denmark from another country, use the international access code +45. It is also possible to report information regarding suspected incidents of foreign bribery to the Danish embassy in the country where the bribery is alleged to have occurred.
