Tulip Siddiq – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2016-05-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which foreign countries made requests to the UK to recover criminal assets they had identified as having been laundered in the UK in each year since 2009; and how much in criminal assets was recovered from the UK for each of those countries in each such year.

Mr John Hayes

The table below shows the countries and territories that have made requests to the UK for assistance in recovering criminal assets.

These figures only show countries where 6 or more requests have been made for restraint or confiscation. This is because disclosure of figures where 5 or fewer requests have been made may lead to the identification of an individual Mutual Legal Assistance request. Please note that these figures are taken from local management information, and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
