The FATF has published on 04 November 2025, published a comprehensive Asset Recovery Guidance and Best Practice that aim to intensify global efforts to recover criminal assets.
Based on Interpol and UNODC analysis, a very low percentage of criminal assets are confiscated. FATF’s assessments demonstrated that more than 80 % of jurisdictions are operating at low or moderate levels of effectiveness in asset recovery. In response, this new guidance published by the FATF, will help countries implement major revisions to FATF’s Recommendations in 2023 that provide a more robust toolkit to recover illicit proceeds and partner in the global fight against money laundering and other serious crimes.
