<p>The data requested is not held centrally. The UK is committed to ensuring that
criminal funds are returned to our international partners. In November 2015 the UK
returned £28.7 million of the proceeds of corruption to the authorities in Macao,
and the Immigration Minister recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the
Nigerian Government in anticipation of the return of stolen assets to Nigeria.</p><p>The
Criminal Finances Bill will create new powers to help our law enforcement agencies
recover criminal funds, even when the predicate crimes took place overseas and no
conviction has been secured, in the form of Unexplained Wealth Orders and a power
enabling the forfeiture of criminal funds held in bank accounts.</p>
