Key agencies in Türkiye explore tools for asset recovery

Türkiye is strengthening its capacity to apply available asset recovery instruments through a two-day training event aimed at enhancing practical skills and interagency co-ordination.

The training brought together participants from the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Interior, the Turkish National Police, the General Command of Gendarmerie, and the Turkish Coast Guard Command.

On the first day, experts provided a comprehensive overview of the legal and institutional frameworks for asset recovery and asset management. Sessions covered the key stages of recovering illicit assets in line with national and international standards. A key element of the training was aligning practices with the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations (Rec. 4 and 38) and the Directive (EU) 2024/1260 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 April 2024 on asset recovery and confiscation. The session further explored international co-operation mechanisms, which are indispensable for addressing effective cross-border issues effectively.

The second day, focused on how anti-corruption legislative innovations and practical tools can support the identification, tracing, and recovery of assets, highlighting mechanisms such as Deferred Prosecution Agreements. Through practical group exercises, participants explored how these mechanisms operate in real-world cases, strengthening their practical knowledge and skills to apply asset recovery and anti-corruption tools effectively.

The training programme provided a structured overview of the challenges and best practices in asset recovery and asset management, aiming to enhance interagency co-ordination and improve Türkiye’s capacity to manage and recover assets effectively and supporting deterrence of criminal activities.

This activity was organised within the framework of the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme "Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye" and its action against money laundering in Türkiye.
