The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) released new global guidance to recover assets from crimes like fraud, cybercrime, investment scams, and money laundering.
The guidance explains a full life-cycle process: finding assets, freezing them, managing them, and returning them across countries.
FATF included India’s examples, such as the Agri Gold, India Realty & Infrastructure Opportunities (IREO) realty scam, and BitConnect crypto fraud cases.
The new rules focus on helping victims, with cases like India’s Rose Valley example.
FATF is an intergovernmental body formed in 1989 in Paris to stop money laundering, terror financing, and illegal financial activities.
