Recovery of Criminal Proceeds

Recovery of criminal proceeds refers to the process of identifying, seizing, and returning money or assets obtained through unlawful activities, such as fraud, theft, or corruption. It aims to ensure that illegally gained assets are not kept by the offenders and can be returned to victims or the public. Authorities use legal procedures, investigations, and financial tools to trace and recover these proceeds, thereby disrupting criminal enterprises and promoting justice. This process helps uphold the integrity of financial systems and discourages criminal behavior by removing the financial incentives behind illegal acts.
