On April 25, 2025, the Academy of Law Enforcement Agencies under the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan completed an advanced training course on “The Return of Stolen Assets from Abroad.”
Over the course of five days, law enforcement officers underwent intensive training on the return of criminal assets, which is one of the priority areas of law enforcement identified by the Head of State. The course was aimed at developing professional skills in identifying, suppressing, and returning illegally transferred assets.
As part of the training, participants gained access to best practices and tools for international cooperation, studied real-life cases, and practiced algorithms for returning assets to their home country. Particular attention was paid to interagency cooperation and the legal aspects of combating cross-border crime.
The classes were conducted by Academy instructors, as well as invited experts from the Financial Monitoring Agency and the Asset Recovery Committee. The experts shared current approaches and practical experience, which allowed participants to improve not only their theoretical training, but also their practical effectiveness.
At the end of the course, all students were awarded certificates confirming their competence in the field of asset recovery. The knowledge and skills they acquired will be a significant help in combating the illegal transfer of funds abroad and will strengthen the capacity of domestic law enforcement agencies.
