Follow-the-money' approaches are increasingly being adopted to tackle organized crime, corruption, and terrorist activities. The rationale behind such an approach is oft stated: to show that crime does not pay, to reinforce confidence in a fair and effective criminal justice system, and to deter criminal activity. Civil Recovery of Criminal Property is an in-depth analysis of the confiscation of the proceeds of crime in the absence of criminal conviction in Ireland and England & Wales, more than two decades since the introduction of this civil/criminal hybrid procedure. This book considers the development of civil recovery in both jurisdictions, providing a comprehensive comparative account ...
Asset Recovery Handbook
Developing countries lose billions each year through bribery, misappropriation of funds, and other corrupt practices.

A number of successful high-profile cases with creative international cooperation has demonstrated that asset recovery is possible. However, it is highly complex, involving coordination and collaboration with domestic agencies and ministries in multiple jurisdic...
Moneyland
Rapoartele aveau la origine niște articole publicate de Proiectul pentru Raportarea Crimei Organizate și Corupției (OCCRP), un consorțiu neobosit și neînfricat de jurnaliști din toată Europa de Est, care au expus două așa-numite „spălătorii“ – scheme sofisticate de spălare a miliarde de euro. Spălătoria rusească era condusă prin intermediul băncilor din Moldova, în timp ce spălătoria azeră transfera sume mari de bani pentru elita conducătoare de la Baku. În ambele cazuri, infractorii se foloseau de companii britanice fictive pentru a-și ascunde identitatea și de Danske Bank pentru a-și transfera banii. Raportul avocaților a identificat 177 de clienți ai Danske Bank implicați în „spălătoria“ rusească, majoritatea fiind înregistrați în Marea Britanie, plus șase clienți implicați în scandalul din Azerbaidjan, toți fiind societăți în comandită înmatriculate în Regatul Unit.
Towards a Global Consensus Against Corruption
Corruption has long been identified as a governance challenge, yet it took states until the 1990s to adopt binding agreements combating it. While the rapid spread of anti-corruption treaties appears to mark a global consensus, a closer look reveals that not all regional and international organizations move on similar trajectories. This book seeks to explain similarities and differences between international anti-corruption agreements. In this volume Lohaus develops a comprehensive analytical framework to compare international agreements in the areas of prevention, criminalization, jurisdiction, domestic enforcement and international cooperation. Outcomes range from narrow enforcement coopera...
