Fox News
The World Economic Forum initiated an "independent investigation" into a whistleblower letter alleging financial and ethical misconduct against former Chairman Klaus Schwab.
According to the Journal, an anonymous whistleblower penned a letter to the board – which includes former Vice President Al Gore, Jordan's Queen Rania and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde as members – alleging financial and ethical misconduct by Schwab and his wife, Hilde. The claims included that Schwab allegedly tapped subordinates to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs on his behalf and used WEF funds to pay for private, in-room massages at hotels.

The letter reportedly also alleged his wife, a former WEF staffer, arranged "token" meetings funded by the forum to rationalize luxury holiday travel on the organization's tab.
