While the Agency has investigators co-located with the five multi-agency Regional Asset Recovery Teams, it does not itself have regional recovery teams. The Agency has branches in Belfast and London. The value of receipts realised in completed cases since the Agency’s establishment in 2003, split between its two branches, is set out in the following table.
A wide range of assets have been recovered, the most common being real property (e.g. houses, motor vehicles and jewellery), cash and financial services products (e.g. bank accounts and insurance policies). It would be disproportionately costly to produce a full list of assets recovered.
