Chapter 6 in Proving Corruption and Defending the Corrupt, 2025, pp 104-125 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Investigations and evidence-gathering in corruption-related cases, particularly those involving grand corruption and organized criminal groups, frequently involve a transnational element. Section 1 focuses on developments in facilitating mutual assistance particularly through the establishment of the Global Operational Network of Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Authorities (the GlobE Network) and the development of an important Southern African Development Community (SADC) initiative. The role of the World Bank and other multilateral development banks in providing information to domestic anti-corruption agencies is also noted. Section 2 explores the challenges that Anglophone African countries may face in establishing effective mutual legal assistance and extradition systems.
