Left Out of the Bargain: Settlements in Foreign Bribery Cases and Implications for Asset Recovery - Paperback

by Jacinta Anyango Oduor (Author), Francisca M. U. Fernando (Author), Agustin Flah (Author)

Over the past decade, countries have increasingly used settlements--that is, any procedure short of a full trial--to conclude foreign bribery cases and have imposed billions in monetary sanctions. There exists a gap in knowledge, however, regarding settlement practices around the world and the disposition of these monetary sanctions--notably through the lens of recovery of stolen assets. Left out of the Bargain, a study by the Stolen Asset RecoveryInitiative (StAR), provides an overview of settlement practices by civil and common law countries that have been active in the fight against foreign bribery.
