	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>Under proceeds of crime legislation, asset sharing and repatriation is ultimately the Government’s decision following the recovery of assets/money under a court order it is a matter of how to then dispose of those recovered moneys. In confiscation cases, the UN Convention Against Corruption requires a full return to victim States and the EU Framework Decision on confiscation orders requires a 50% share in cases in excess of 10,000 Euros.</p><p>There are other bilateral and multilateral international agreements that encourage the sharing of recovered assets. The UK does not require an international agreement to share or repatriate assets and does so on request on an ad hoc basis. The presumption is that 50% is shared with the requesting country. There are few cases so far, but none have been refused.</p><p><br>The Government does not intervene with similar cases involving the Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 25/02/2019 16:57:53 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2015 answer text <p>In 2013, the Economic Crime Command of the National Crime Agency was established to lead, co-ordinate and support the national law enforcement response to money laundering. This involves working with the financial sector, to improve information sharing arrangements with law enforcement agencies to aid the fight against money laundering. It also involves working with the Law Society, Solicitors Regulation Authority and law enforcement partners to increase legal professionals’ awareness of money laundering risks.</p><p>The National Crime Agency, in its 2014 National Strategic Assessment, has assessed the overall scale of international money laundering through UK banks and their overseas subsidiaries, although there is no reliable estimate of the detection rate of illicit funds.</p><p>The Government is committed to protecting the integrity of our financial system and ensuring that the UK is a hostile environment for illicit funds. To that end, the Government has introduced a number of measures to tackle the movement of illicit funds into the UK.</p><p>In addition, the UK is taking forward world-leading reform to improve corporate transparency and working hard to encourage others to take equally ambitious action. We have committed to implement a publicly accessible register of information on the individuals that own and control UK companies. Reform is being taken forward through the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill and we intend to introduce the register in 2016.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 19/03/2015 12:07:40 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
