A seminar was held in the capital on topical issues of finding and returning assets obtained by criminal means from abroad.
The training was attended by employees of the anti-corruption Service, the Economic Investigation Service, the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice.
As you know, the withdrawal of criminal proceeds is often carried out in countries with the Anglo-Saxon system of law.
Therefore, the main emphasis in the training program is placed on the theoretical study and practical development of skills in using specific tools for searching, identifying and returning assets from countries belonging specifically to this legal system.
Separately, the issues of initiating legal proceedings in the jurisdiction of the country where these assets were discovered, freezing the debtor’s assets, actions in bankruptcy, as well as when establishing assets in financial offshore zones were touched upon.
The speakers were representatives of well–known law firms in the UK – Grant Thornton UK LLP and Gateley plc.
The acquired knowledge will allow domestic employees involved in the work on asset recovery from abroad to use existing legal instruments of other countries more productively.
The event is organized jointly with the AIFC Academy of Law.
