Principle of Asset Recovery

The Principle of Asset Recovery focuses on reclaiming assets that have been obtained through illegal means, such as corruption or crime. It aims to restore these assets to the rightful owners, often the state or victims, and deter future wrongdoing. This process includes identifying, freezing, and seizing illicit assets, followed by legal procedures to return them. By promoting transparency and accountability, asset recovery helps strengthen the rule of law and supports economic development, ensuring that stolen resources can benefit society rather than fund further criminal activities.
