US and Indonesian experts participate in the Third Asset Forfeiture Conference

On May 21, U.S. Ambassador Scot Marciel opened the Third Asset Forfeiture Conference, which brings together top experts from the United States, Australia, Indonesia, and Europe to help nations in the region develop their understanding of, and ability to use, asset forfeiture as a tool in the fight against corruption and transnational crime. The Asset Forfeiture Conference began as a U.S. Department of Justice program and now is co-sponsored with the Australian Attorney General’s office and the World Bank. The program unites police, prosecutors, members of Financial Intelligence Units, Central Bank representatives, legislators and others with international asset forfeiture experts to address asset forfeiture legislation, case studies, corruption, and rule of law issues. Approximately 23 nations in the Asian region are participating in this year’s program. [U.S. State Dept.]
