Summary
Much has been written about guilty pleas and plea bargaining in common law countries and German confession bargaining,1 yet there has been relatively little comparative analysis of cooperation agreements, a form of negotiated resolution of mainly serious criminal cases, which, unlike plea bargaining, has as its goal the securing of investigative help and trial testimony theoretically aimed at bringing leading players in organised crime to justice.
