Losses due to official misconduct account for a great many maritime trade incidents. Each incident can be complex and wide-ranging in nature. It is therefore unlikely that any one company will have the knowledge and resources to be able to investigate it thoroughly.

Nobody really believes that life is fair but the amount of criminal proceeds currently being recovered from frauds, even when the fraudsters have been caught and prosecuted, is little short of a crime in itself.
The need for victims to get more back is acute and a new book from ICC FraudNet aims to show legal professionals how best to go about this.
The FraudNet World Compendium ‘Asset Tracing & Recovery’ is a 1,145-page tool that unlocks the tactics and techniques that will be needed, and educates readers how to introduce and implement the right procedures to redress the current large imbalance that exists between what is stolen and what is recovered.
It has been written by attorneys and investigators who know what they are doing in this complex field, and have the knowledge, experience and track record of success to back-up their advice. These are the last people that fraudsters want on their tail: they do not make mistakes, know all the tricks and, via membership of the ICC FraudNet network, have an international reach that transcends national boundaries and legislation.
