The value of assets created by illegal activities seems to be substantial. As, according to the UNODC, the cross-border flow of the global proceeds from criminal activities, corruption, and tax evasion is estimated at between $1 trillion and $1.6 trillion per year . This highlights the essential need and practical significance of implementing the appropriate strategies for effective asset recovery. The most efficient strategy for combating organized crime involves targeting the financial resources of criminals, particularly with complex asset recovery measures and systematic approach.

This will bring about the cultural shift to mainstream asset recovery in crime-fighting and focus on asset recovery at the onset of investigations . This recommendation shall have a significant step in enhancing global efforts to combat financial crime by prioritizing asset recovery.
