The StAR-INTERPOL Asset Recovery Focal Points Initiative
May 5 2012
The Global Focal Point Platform was launched in January 2009 by INTERPOL together with the StAR Initiative to provide a global network of asset recovery expert practitioners, accessible through a secure database of contacts on anti-corruption and asset recovery. This initiative refl ects two critical lessons learned from successful asset recovery cases: 1) the importance of early action and 2) the benefi t of strengthening contact and trust between practitioners. The joint partnership between StAR and INTERPOL allows the pooling of expertise and resources to best help practitioners at the forefront of the asset recovery and asset confi scation processes.
