Gill ThomasHOST
So maybe a little bit about your role, first of all, and what that, um, that was all about.

Cornel CalinescuGUEST
Twenty years ago, we, we just had the first sound and strong legal standard established by Council of Europe in asset recovery, which is the Warsaw Con-Convention, which provides the rules on how judicial authorities are interacting for the purposes of tracing, seizing, and recovering criminal assets.

Cornel CalinescuGUEST
We also had the inception phase of asset management offices there because we had an article that was talking about how to preserve the value of seized assets without any guidance.

Cornel CalinescuGUEST
We also had brief mentionings of what happens if a case finishes successfully with a conviction and with a confiscation, the issue of asset sharing.

Cornel CalinescuGUEST
But again, there were just limited lines or references to, to the topics without the substance that actually we need even today in order to get to that stage, to get in front of a seizing order, which is subject to mutual legal assistance, to reach the status of a confiscation order, which is executed, and then to repatriate or to share the, the confiscated assets.

Cornel CalinescuGUEST
So only twenty years ago, we had the inception of what asset recovery is now known as, uh, as a business, as a topic for all, all of us.
