Asset Recovery Training in Bangladesh, November 2007

ICAR delivered a tailor-made training program 3 - 6 November, in Dhaka. The key objective of this training program was to enhance the capacity of the Bangladeshi law enforcement agencies in prosecuting international bribery and money laundering cases and repatriating the funds stolen in connection with these cases. Most importantly, the training was designed to assist them in enhancing the staff’s ability to trace assets and to handle mutual legal assistance (MLA) requests and to succeed in cooperation with foreign jurisdictions to repatriate stolen assets. This program involved experts from ICAR, the World Bank and the Metropolitan Police Service of London, UK. The training also helped to undertake an effective capacity assessment of skills and needs which led to a more extensive program of training organized in March  2008.
