The International Training Centre in Budapest hosted the CEPOL Course 76/2017 titled „Asset Recovery” between the 29th May and 2nd June. Participants included 27 practitioners working in the field of asset recovery from a total of 23 jurisdictions all over from Europe.
The main goal of the 4-day long course was – besides introducing the Hungarian asset recovery regime and the recent developments made by the Hungarian Asset Recovery Office – to provide a framework for experts in order to be able to directly exchange knowledge on the relevant legal frameworks of the various jurisdictions, and the different instruments and best practices utilized by them during their day-to-day activities.
With assistance from Europol and several foreign jurisdictions from The Netherlands, Germany and Slovakia, the Hungarian organizers managed to gather a diverse staff of experts, including prosecutors, criminal and financial investigators working at AROs, AMOs and FIUs who gave presentations on their various fields of expertise.
In addition to the regular presentations, the course managers also organized roundtable and group discussions for the participants in order to start debates and the exchange of arguments on the most relevant and pressing questions that arise during their work related to asset recovery.
Last but not least, the participants – fully meeting the expectations set out by the course manager – also completed a pre-course assignment that was also discussed in depth during the course.
