Launched at this week’s International Corruption Hunters Alliance conference, the Grand Corruption Database  compiles large-scale corruption cases that were filed between 1980 and 2011. The database is part of the StAR study, The Puppet Masters: How the Corrupt Use Legal Structures to Hide Stolen Assets and What to Do About It and it covers cases that involve the misuse of at least one legal entity or legal arrangement to obscure beneficial owners, and conceal the origin and/or destination of stolen assets worth at least US$ 1 million.
