Financial Investigations and Asset Recovery
The RSS ARU’s principal focus and raison d’etre is building sustainable regional capacity in financial investigations and asset recovery as a means of tackling and combatting serious organized crime and corruption across the seven RSS Member States. A key pillar of the RSS ARU’s mandate is to embed financial investigations and asset recovery into the law enforcement framework across the Member States.
This is achieved through mentoring on live cases, providing training to law enforcement and criminal justice practitioners in financial investigations and asset recovery,
raising awareness of the magistracy and judiciary, regularly engaging with and providing advice to stakeholders and advocating for standardised proceeds of crime legislation across
the seven RSS Member States and researching and publishing FIAR material on cash seizure, detention, confiscation and forfeiture policies and procedures that are bespoke to the individual
legal and regulatory frameworks and practices of the RSS Member States. The RSS ARU holds as its key stakeholders the Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), Public Prosecutors, Law Enforcement Personnel,
Customs and Excise departments, the Magistracy and the Judiciary in an effort to improve the fight against serious and organised crime and corruption.
