Cross-Border Criminal and Civil Recovery Litigation Offshore

Offshore jurisdictions are an increasingly important part of the fight against financial crime.

Offshore criminal and civil recovery cases are now more frequent. Almost all these cases involve more than one place. Any practitioner acting in this field therefore needs to be familiar with the law that applies to cross-border issues. This short book aims to fill this important gap in the literature. Intended to provide an overview of the law, it draws on cases from throughout the English speaking offshore and onshore worlds.

The book describes the international architecture and the main public and private international law principles that apply. It then deals with criminal jurisdiction, evidence gathering, admissibility issues and freezing and enforcement of judgments.
