Asset Recovery Training in Bangladesh November 2007

In cooperation with the World Bank, ICAR conducted a workshop in November 2007, with participants from various Bangladeshi agencies, namely, the Attorney General’s Office, the Criminal Investigations Department, the Bangladesh Bank, and the Supreme Court. The workshop focused on asset tracing and recovery, mainly on the subject of mutual legal assistance, and proved to be very beneficial for all parties involved.  An encouraging aspect witnessed during the workshop was the enthusiasm shown by the participants to take part in hands-on asset recovery investigations for the good of their own country.

The workshop also presented a great opportunity for the participants to interact with officials from other agencies within Bangladesh as well as establishing bonds with foreign agencies which may provide them with assistance in matters of mutual legal assistance. The Bangladesh workshop highlighted the progress that can be made with meaningful dialogue and cooperation between agencies within a country with support from international organizations such as the World Bank and the Basel Institute on Governance.
