The Bribery Act 2010 is the most significant reform of UK bribery law in a century. This critical analysis offers an explanation of the Act, makes comparisons with similar legislation in other jurisdictions and provides a critical commentary, from both a UK and a US perspective, on the collapse of the distinction between public and private sector bribery. Drawing on their academic and practical experience, the contributors also analyse the prospects for enforcement and the difficulties facing lawyers seeking asset recovery following the laundering of the proceeds of bribery. International perspectives are provided via comparisons with the law in Spain, Hong Kong, the USA and Italy, together with broader analysis of the application of the law in relation to EU anti-corruption initiatives, international development and the arms trade.

Il y a des crimes qui se déploient sur des années sans que l’on puisse y mettre un terme. Il s’agit en particulier de crimes commis par les organisations et par les individus qui y travaillent. Le cas du financier américain Bernard Madoff, qui a éclaté en 2008, en est sans doute l’illustration exemplaire. Or, il s’agit de réalités qui sont normalement soumises à des mécanismes de surveillance. Si le crime dure si longtemps, c’est que les surveillants ne regardent pas au bon endroit ou regardent ailleurs, que les signaux avertisseurs émis par les sonneurs d’alarme ne reçoivent pas toute l’attention nécessaire, ou que cette dénonciation n’est pas interprétée correctement par ceux qui la reçoivent, et dont c’est précisément le mandat d’y être attentifs. Mais si ces crimes durent longtemps c’est qu’ils sont également devenus de plus en plus insaisissables en raison de leur complexité « naturelle » aussi bien que de leur dématérialisation rendue possible par internet. Leurs auteurs profitent de la connivence ou de la négligence d’autres organisations et d’autres individus, de la naïveté et de la bonne foi d’une population anonyme, et finissent par faire des victimes aussi innombrables qu’inattendues. Empruntant la voie virtuelle, ils peuvent se protéger derrière l’anonymat, profiter de la confusion entre privé et public que favorise internet, et exploiter une réserve incalculable et sans cesse renouvelée d’information et de données. C’est cette configuration du crime contemporain que décrit cet ouvrage, qui laisse en même temps deviner les transformations de nos démocraties.

It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. This is only too true as we profile cases involving money matters. Tricksters are quick to prey on Man's desire to have more money that is why sleights of hand and ponzi schemes succeed. Even senior finance managers often succumb to greed and lust, betraying their employer's trust to fund their gambling or to lavish expensive gifts on their mistresses. Whether small time crook or seasoned swindlers, no one is above the law as we find out.
