StAR Database

Launched today by the Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative, a joint program of the World Bank Group and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the StAR Asset Recovery Watch is a research project that systematically compiles information on past and current recovery cases involving corruption.  It details 75 cases involving 52 countries of origin of corrupt public officials and 34 jurisdictions from which stolen assets have been recovered since 1980
