Civil Lawsuits to Recover Stolen Assets

By: Jean-Pierre Brun,Pascale Helene Dubois,Emile van der Does de Willebois,Jeanne Hauch,Sarah Jais,Yannis Mekki,Anastasia Sotiropoulou,Katherine Rose Sylvester,Mahesh Uttamchandani

Over the last decade, the topics of corruption and recovery of its proceeds have steadily risen in the international policy agenda, with the entry into force of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2005, the Arab Spring in 2011, and most recently a string of scandals in the financial sector. As states decide how best to respond to corruption and recover assets, the course of action most often discussed is criminal investigation and prosecution rather than private lawsuits. But individuals, organizations, and governments harmed by corruption are also entitled to recover lost assets and/or receive compensation for the damage suffered. To accomplish these goals of recovery and compensation, private or 'civil' actions are often a necessary and useful complement to criminal proceedings. This study explores how states can act as private litigants to bring lawsuits to recover assets lost to corruption.

The Killer Knows Why

Seven Riveting Stories of Crime and Intrigue

By: Yannis Mitsopoulos

In The Killer Knows Why, pulp fiction author Yannis Mitsopoulos draws readers in with ease by throwing open the doors to his home of Greece, letting them experience the romance of the settings tucked in the mountains and coasts, along with the secrets that entice them to read each of his seven spellbinding stories with complete abandon. Mitsopoulos weaves the stories in and out of everyday lives, traditions, and beliefs as he allows his readers to become voyeurs into the minds of those that kill for a reason. The first story tells the tale of a woman whose life has been one of missed opportunities, only to regain a life for herself through the secret found in her fathers journal. In the second story, a little boys love for a race car carries him to a tragic end. The Killer Knows Why tells five more tales: Greek tragedies intertwine old curses through modern lives only to end, well, tragically as a family spins their tale for everyone to see. An artist finds that Death can be an inspiring muse. A young ex-soldier finds that fatherhood can push him to fight even the devils of the deep to bring his daughter back. A man that tries to not let others poison his life, his thoughts ends his life while attempting to poison the one that poisoned him. And, a mother that knows what is best for her daughter ensures with a little help that both their lives are secure. Seven stories wrap around the reader like a bright, beautiful day only to find that even beautiful days have their moments of cold. Yannis Mitsopoulos draws his inspiration from real life events, situations, and places, lending to the ambience with which he weaves into his fiction. Mitsopoulos invites readers to experience a taste of Greece, so do not hesitate! Grab your favorite sweater then let yourself experience the warmth and chill of The Killer Knows Why.
