Recuperación de activos de la corrupción – Jorge Guillermo (ED.)

Recovering the proceeds of corruption from abroad is a concern for all nations that have been the victims of large scale corruption, theft and graft. However, the repatriation of assets is still a distant reality for most of these countries. Indeed, asset recovery is one of the most complex projects in the field of law, often requiring financial investigators to trace assets, forensic accountants to unravel complex transactions and attorneys skilled in multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional litigation.

Latin American countries are likely to be faced with a different combination of these and many other challenges when it comes to recovering and repatriating stolen assets. This book in Spanish by Guillermo Jorge, who has unique knowledge about the specificities of asset recovery in Latin America and therefore can offer a singular insight into potential remedies, is therefore of particular value, and will certainly make a crucial contribution to helping practitioners as well as policy makers from concerned countries to overcome these difficulties.
