Resource Alert: StAR Corruption Cases Search Center
The Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, or StAR, is a partnership between the World Bank Group and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). It supports international efforts to end safe havens for corrupt funds.
StAR works with developing countries and financial centers "to prevent the laundering of the proceeds of corruption and to facilitate more systematic and timely return of stolen assets."
One way it does that is by collecting and organizing information about completed and ongoing (active) asset recovery cases that have an international dimension.
The effort is called StAR Asset Recovery Watch. Its database is called the StAR Corruption Cases Search Center.
