UK Asset Recovery Agency

The UK Asset Recovery Agency (UKARA) was a government entity responsible for recovering assets linked to criminal activity, such as money or property. Its role was to help ensure criminals couldn't keep the profits from their illegal actions by seizing and returning assets to victims or the public purse. UKARA worked alongside other law enforcement agencies and used legal processes to identify, locate, and recover stolen or illicit assets, supporting the fight against crime and financial misconduct.
