Legal Mechanisms For The Recovery Of Proceeds Of Corruption: A Comparative Analysis Between The United Nations Convention Against Corruption And Law No. 06-01 On The Prevention And Combating Of Corruption

Authors : Menasria Abdelkarim .

Abstract

The recovery of criminal proceeds resulting from corruption offenses constitutes one of the core mechanisms of international cooperation aimed at repatriating illicitly transferred assets. Given the significant risks such a procedure may pose to individual rights—particularly as it entails the deprivation of property through seizure, freezing, confiscation, and restitution to rightful owners—it becomes imperative to establish clear rules and safeguards. These legal frameworks must, on one hand, protect the interests of the requesting State seeking to recover assets derived from acts of corruption, and on the other hand, uphold the rights of individuals and ensure the legality and due process of the recovery proceedings.
