Anti-Corruption Models

Abstract

This chapter examines the techniques used to investigate corrupt systems and dark networks, which are, by their nature, hidden from view and must be revealed through the gathering of intelligence. It reviews the considerations to be examined in order to dismantle entire networks including the structure of investigative agencies. Illustrating that communication interception technology (CIT) can be used on its own or in combination with other strategies to gather information on the full network, provide the evidence necessary to build a strategic intelligence picture of the corrupt environment, and supply evidence in criminal trials, the chapter confirms that CIT provides significant opportunities for intelligence and evidence gathering that otherwise are not available when CIT powers are not accessible to investigators.
