The third phase of COPOLAD has a component dedicated to supply control and has placed the fight against money laundering at the center of its implementation strategy, since actions to combat organized crime are more effective when the legal system includes measures to attack illegally accumulated wealth.
As part of a comprehensive response to the criminal phenomenon, some countries in Latin America have adopted legislation on non-conviction based forfeiture, among which the laws of forfeiture, loss or deprivation of ownership, special, autonomous, full or emerging capital forfeiture have stood out.
The publication, produced by COPOLAD III in the framework of the themes set out by the EU/CELAC Cooperation and Coordination Mechanism on drugs, includes the context, international recommendations, the concept of social reuse of confiscated assets and the organizations involved in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also analyzes the concept of asset reuse and analyzes experiences in Latin America and Europe, as well as some conclusions for the improvement of public policies that reinforce recovery.
