Asset Recovery and Restitution (Part 1)

Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking: The Podcast

In this new FAST podcast episode (one of two), FAST’s Government and Multilateral Organizations Lead, Andy Shen, Research Associate Dr Loria-Mae Heywood, and Anti-Money Laundering Specialist, Nadine Kambriss provide details on a year-long project focused on asset recovery and compensation for victims and survivors of human trafficking and forced labour. They explore, inter alia, the relevance of the AML framework to closing the remedy gap between the profits and proceeds derived from human trafficking and forced labour and compensation to victims/survivors, and views from questionnaire respondents on who should provide compensation to victims/survivors. They also mention some of the key recommendations emerging from the research.
