Billions in corrupt assets, complex money trails, strings of shell
companies and other spurious legal structures. These form the
complex web of subterfuge in corruption cases, behind which hides
the benefi cial owner the puppet master and benefi ciary of it all.
Linking the benefi cial owner to the proceeds of corruption is
notoriously hard. With sizable wealth and resources on their side,
they exploit transnational constructions that are hard to penetrate
and stay aggressively ahead of the game. Nearly all cases of grand
corruption have one thing in common. They rely on corporate
vehicles legal structures such as companies, foundations, and
trusts to conceal ownership and control of tainted assets. The
Puppet Masters: How the Corrupt Use Legal Structures to Hide Stolen
Assets and What to Do About It takes these corporate vehicles as
its angle of investigation. It builds upon cases, interviews with
investigators, corporate registries and fi nancial institutions, as
well as a mystery shopping exercise that provide factual evidence
of a criminal practice. This approach is used to understand the
nature of the problem and design policy recommendations to
facilitate the investigative process by unraveling the complex
world of corporate vehicles. This report is solidly built on
step-by-step arguments and designed to deliver practical,
applicable, and well substantiated recommendations. It is intended
for use by policy makers in developing national legislation and
regulation as well as international standard setters. It also
provides helpful information for practitioners engaged in
investigating corrupt offi cials and academics involved in the
study of fi nancial crime."
