Asset Recovery Unit

An Asset Recovery Unit (ARU) is a specialized group within law enforcement or government agencies responsible for identifying, seizing, and recovering assets that have been acquired through criminal activities, such as fraud, corruption, or drug trafficking. Their goal is to return these stolen assets to rightful owners or reinvest them into community programs. ARUs often work with other organizations, both locally and internationally, to track down assets, including money and property, ensuring that crime does not pay and supporting justice and accountability.
