The World Bank/UNODC Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR) in partnership with the Sri Lankan Presidential Task Force on Stolen Assets Recovery (START) held a mutual legal assistance (MLA) workshop for prosecutors and investigators engaged in asset recovery in Sri Lanka: the Attorney General’s Department, the FIU, Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) and the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).
The workshop included presentations from the World Bank, UK (SFO), the Central Authority for Singapore and Arvinder Sambei (Amicus) as well as a practical LOR drafting exercise using a number of documentary and financial feeds. The three day workshop concluded with a number of recommendations developed by the participants.
