Asset Recovery Support Project

Staff and management of the

Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine and

National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine

Objective 1: Ukrainian authorities have increased capacity and demonstrate the application of suitable tools and techniques to investigate and prosecute financial crime

Objective 2: Ukrainian authorities actively cooperate and coordinate with foreign jurisdictions in cross-border asset recovery cases supported by ICAR

Risultati principali attesi:   ICAR provides technical assistance to the PGO and NABU, primarily through on-the-job coaching on an agreed list of priority cases, structured trainings addressing capacity gaps of the respective organizations and support in international cooperation with foreign jurisdictions.

Risultati fasi precedenti:   In two previous phases, the International Center for Asset Reovery (ICAR) in Basel has provided case advice and trainings to the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) and has also been able to earn their trust in a highly political context. ICAR has also rapidly built its collaboration with the newly-established National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), and has started providing targeted trainings to their staff. High-level corruption cases are complex and take time; thus no assets have yet been restituted, but notable progress has been made on several supported cases.
