- Abstract
Corruption has been recognized as a globally organised crime with overwhelming damage to economies of less developed countries. Pakistan dealing with brunt of corruption failed to curb corruption owing to inherent fault-lines with anti-corruption legal and Institutional framework. The political governments counterpoised the anti-corruption legislations with legal, procedural and judicial lacunas to the advantage of their party members. This paper attempts to identify the reasons for failed institutional initiatives for repatriation of stolen assets back to country and how Pakistan failed to benefit from international cooperation through Mutual Legal Assistance. This paper would also explore the internal politicking between state institutions frustrating the due process of law to recover proceeds of corruption with special reference to legal manipulation of criminal proceedings in Panama Leaks Corruption Case.
