Gray, LarissaBrun, Jean-PierreScott, CliveStephenson, Kevin M.2012-03-192012-03-192011-01-18978-0-8213-8634-7https://hdl.handle.net/10986/2264The handbook is organized into nine chapters, a glossary, and ten appendixes of additional resources. Chapter one provides a general overview of the asset recovery process and legal avenues for recovery, along with practical case examples. Chapter two presents a host of strategic considerations for developing and managing an asset recovery case, including gathering initial sources of facts and information, assembling a team, and establishing a relationship with foreign counterparts for international cooperation. Chapter three introduces the techniques that practitioners may use to trace assets and analyze financial data, as well as to secure reliable and admissible evidence for asset confiscation cases. The provisional measures and planning necessary to secure the assets prior to confiscation are discussed in chapter four; and chapter five introduces some of the management issues that practitioners will need to consider during this phase. Confiscation systems are the focus of chapter six, including a review of the different systems and how they operate and the procedural enhancements that are available in some jurisdictions. On the issue of international cooperation, chapter seven reviews the various methods available, including informal assistance and mutual legal assistance requests; and guides practitioners through the entire process. Finally, chapters eight and nine discuss two additional avenues for asset recovery-respectively, civil proceedings and domestic confiscation proceedings undertaken in foreign jurisdictions.El robo de activos públicos de los países emergentes es un grave problema para su desarrollo. Los costes sociales de la corrupción superan con mucho al valor de los activos robados por los líderes públicos. La corrupción debilita la confianza en las instituciones públicas, daña el clima de inversión privada y arruina los mecanismos de puesta en marcha de programas de alivio de la pobreza tales como los de salud pública y educación. Recuperar el producto de la corrupción es complejo. El proceso puede ser abrumador incluso para el más experimentado de los profesionales y es excepcionalmente difícil para los que trabajan en el contexto de estados fallidos, corrupción generalizada o con recursos limitados. Este manual práctico tiene como objetivo lidiar con los retos estratégicos, de organización, de investigación y legales para la recuperación de activos robados tanto mediante la confiscación penal, la confiscación sin condena, las acciones civiles u otras alternativas. Proporciona métodos comunes para la recuperación de activos robados localizados en otras jurisdicciones, identifica los retos que los profesionales podrían encontrar y presenta buenas prácticas.Les pays en développement perdent chaque année entre 20 et 40 milliards de dollars du fait de la corruption, des détournements de fonds et d’autres pratiques malhonnêtes. L’essentiel des produits de cette corruption trouvent refuge dans les places financières mondiales. Ces flux criminels constituent une ponction sur les services sociaux et les programmes de développement économique, contribuant ainsi à appauvrir un peu plus les pays déjà les plus pauvres du monde. Nombreux sont les pays en développement à avoir tenté de recouvrer ces avoirs volés. Certains dossiers hautement médiatisés menés grâce à une coopération internationale innovante ont démontré que le recouvrement de ces avoirs est bel et bien possible. Cependant, le processus demeure hautement complexe, impliquant la coordination et la collaboration d’administrations nationales et de ministères situés dans de multiples juridictions, ainsi que la capacité à tracer et à éviter la dissipation des avoirs et à mettre en œuvre diverses voies judiciaires. C’est avec cela à l’esprit que le programme StAR (Stolen Assets Recovery Initiative) a développé ce manuel de recouvrement des biens mal acquis : un guide à l’intention des praticiens de manière à aider ceux qui doivent relever les défis stratégiques, organisationnels et juridiques posés par le recouvrement des avoirs volés. Ecrit par des praticiens, ce manuel propose des approches communes pour le recouvrement des avoirs situés dans des juridictions étrangères, identifie les obstacles que les praticiens seront susceptibles de rencontrer, et détaille les meilleures pratiques à mettre en œuvre. Il inclut également des outils pouvant être utilisés par les praticiens, comme des exemples de fiches de renseignement, de demandes de décisions de justice, et de demande d’entraide judiciaire.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACT OF CORRUPTIONADJUDICATIONAMERICAN CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION AGENCIESANTICORRUPTION EFFORTSAPPLICABLE LAWARBITRATION PROCEEDINGSASSET MANAGEMENTASSET RECOVERYASSETSAUDITORSBANK SECRECYBANKRUPTBANKSBEST PRACTICESBIDDINGBREACH OF CONTRACTBRIBERYBRIBERY CASESBRIBERY OF FOREIGN PUBLIC OFFICIALSBRIBESCHAPTER 7CIVIL LAWCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLAIMCLAIMANTCOMBATING BRIBERYCOMMON LAWCOMMON LAW JURISDICTIONSCOMMON LAW SYSTEMSCOMPETENT AUTHORITYCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONFIDENCECONFISCATIONCONFISCATION ORDERCONFISCATION ORDERSCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCORRUPTCORRUPT OFFICIALCORRUPT OFFICIALSCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION CHARGESCOURT ACTIONCOURT DECISIONSCOURT ORDERCOURT ORDERSCOURT PROCEEDINGSCOURT PROCESSCRIMECRIMESCRIMINALCRIMINAL ACTIONCRIMINAL LAWCRIMINAL MATTERSCRIMINALITYCUSTOMSDECLARATION OF ASSETSDEFECTIVE GOODSDEPENDENTDIFFERENT LEGAL SYSTEMSDIRECT RECOVERY OF PROPERTYDISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONSDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATIONDISCRETIONDISPOSITIONSDOMESTIC COURTSDOMESTIC LEGISLATIONDRUG TRAFFICKINGDUE PROCESSECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSIONELECTRONIC FUNDSEMBEZZLEMENTENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTSEQUITIESEQUIVALENT VALUEESTATEETHICSEUROPEAN UNIONEXTRADITIONFAIR SHAREFALSE DECLARATIONFIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL ADVISERSFINANCIAL CRIMESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INTELLIGENCEFINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE UNITFINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE UNITSFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOREIGN BANKSFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICESFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACTFOREIGN COURTFOREIGN COURTSFOREIGN LAWFOREIGN PROCEEDINGSFORFEITUREFORMAL COURTFORMAL INSOLVENCYFRAUDFUNDS TRANSFERSGRAND CORRUPTIONHUMAN RIGHTSILLEGAL PAYMENTSILLICIT ENRICHMENTILLICIT ORIGINIMMUNITYINCOME TAXESINITIATIVEINJUNCTIONINSOLVENCY PROCEDURESINSOLVENCY PROCESSINSOLVENCY PROCESSESINSOLVENTINTEGRITYINTERESTED PARTIESINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONSINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL CONTRACTSINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSINTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATIONINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINVESTIGATING MAGISTRATEINVESTIGATING MAGISTRATESINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATORSINVESTMENT CLIMATEJOINT INVESTIGATIONSJUDGEJUDGESJUDGMENTJUDICIAL AUTHORIZATIONJUDICIAL MECHANISMJURISDICTIONJURISDICTIONSJUSTICELAW ENFORCEMENTLAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIESLAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIESLAWSLAWYERSLEGAL ACTIONSLEGAL AUTHORITYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGAL ISSUESLEGAL PROCEEDINGSLEGAL REFORMSLEGAL RELATIONSHIPLEGAL SYSTEMLIABILITYLIMITATION PERIODLIMITED LIABILITYLIMITED LIABILITY COMPANYLIQUIDATIONLOANLOCAL BANKSMALFEASANCEMEDIAMISAPPROPRIATED FUNDSMISAPPROPRIATIONMONEY LAUNDERINGMULTILATERAL AGREEMENTSMUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCEOFFENSEOFFENSESORDER OF CONFISCATIONPAYMENT OF COSTSPAYMENTS SYSTEMPENALTIESPENALTYPOLICEPOSSESSIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE LAWPRIVATE PARTIESPROCUREMENTPROSECUTIONPROSECUTIONSPROSECUTORPROSECUTORSPROVISIONAL MEASURESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC OFFICIALPUBLIC OFFICIALSREAL PROPERTYRECOVERED FUNDSRECOVERY OF ASSETSREMEDIESREPATRIATIONRESTRAINT ORDERRESTRAINT ORDERSRETURN OF ASSETSSAFE HAVENSALARYSANCTIONSSEIZURE OF ASSETSSENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALSSETTLEMENTSTATUTORY TIME LIMITSTERRORISMTHEFTTITLETREATIESTRIALTRIALSTRUST FUNDVALUE OF ASSETSWHISTLE-BLOWERWHISTLE-BLOWERSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8634-7
