White collar crime in Central Asia: the case of Kyrgyzstan (part 1)

December 6, 2016
By Charles van der Leeuw

BISHKEK (TCA) — White collar crime is a global problem, but there is no such thing as a global solution. Transnational law is powerless and even often abused by criminals rather than helping to bring them to justice. This means that national jurisdictions can only prosecute and try major-scale fraudsters and embezzlers on their territory, while the perpetrators freely move themselves and their bounties in offshore havens. This article is the first part of a series of four articles covering the issue in Central Asian countries.
