How the Lausanne Seminar helps boosting public-private collaboration in asset recovery

Bern, 3.9.2021 - Criminals are increasingly using new and sophisticated methods to hide stolen assets. Combatting these trends is in the common interest of States and financial centers. It is therefore crucial that public and private actors share their respective expertise in this area. Hence, the 11th Lausanne Seminar brought together around 150 experts from the public and private sectors coming from all continents. Specific examples were used to explore how public-private collaboration can make the asset recovery process more effective. Based on these findings, the collaboration will be further developed.
