Abstract
"Numerous legal obstacles lie in the way of bringing corrupt politicians to justice and returning stolen wealth to its rightful owners. Véronique Pujas assesses the instruments of immunity and extradition, and Transparency International provides a table that reflects recent legal developments in immunity in a number of countries – not all for the better. Tim Daniel looks at the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which offers some promise of enhancing international judicial cooperation. Recent case material clarifies what is at stake: José Ugaz reflects on the campaign to extradite former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori; Gherardo Colombo summarises the legal changes that extended immunity in Italy, while Donatella della Porta reflects on the way conflict of interest threatens media freedom in the country; and Jeremy Carver examines efforts to return to the people of Pakistan the substantial state assets allegedly stolen by Benazir Bhutto while she served as Pakistan’s prime minister
