This webinar will explore different models, experiences and approaches to recovered asset management.
Our midyear Sanctions Watch update provides a snapshot of changes in anti-corruption sanction designation over the previous six months.
On 18 September 2026, the United States and The Gambia signed an agreement on the return of US$2,5 million from the sale of a property linked to former Gambia ruler Yahya Jammeh.

In June, we joined civil society organisations and other stakeholders in Geneva at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights’ (OHCHR) expert meeting on strengthening international cooperation for the repatriation of funds of illicit origin and their use for the realization of human rights. We left that discussion with a clear message: asset recovery is not only about where stolen money goes, but also about who has been harmed and who gets a say in what happens next.
