Returned stolen assets should benefit the communities they were taken from.

This week, I was in Washington, D.C., to strengthen @UNODC’s partnerships and reinforce our value proposition.
I was pleased to meet with Pablo Saavedra, Vice President for Prosperity at the @WorldBankGroup, for a constructive exchange on asset recovery, money laundering and fraud.
We signed a new Collaboration Arrangement for the @returningassets initiative, to meet rising demand for expertise on asset recovery and financial integrity. There is real scope now to give StAR fresh momentum and make our partnership even more strategic.
