Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Since the end of January 2024, the Office of the Receiver is safeguarding assets and properties valued at approximately P165 million, the Minister of Justice, Ronald Shamukuni, has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at Parliament before the Committee of Supply for Office of the Receiver last week, the minister said these assets were acquired from individuals suspected of criminal involvement in activities such as money laundering and corruption and are in the form of various items such as real estate, livestock, vehicles and bank accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis represents a noticeable increase from the previous year\u2019s figure of P136.8 million, indicating the Directorate of Public Prosecution\u2019s effectiveness in securing proceeds and instruments of crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prolonged litigation<\/p>\n

However, the minister acknowledged persistent challenges of storage and the high cost of maintaining restrained properties under receivership due to prolonged litigation, hindering their disposal.<\/p>\n

Minister Shamukuni also noted an increase in total funds forfeited to the state within the Confiscated Assets Trust Fund, which now stand at P6.4 million compared to the previous year\u2019s P2.8 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Confiscated Assets Trust Fund may be used to compensate and rehabilitate victims of crime and for capacity-building and training programmes for law enforcement agencies involved in combating crimes such as money laundering, racketeering, and terrorism financing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Shamukuni stated that P754,000 was disbursed from the Confiscated Assets Trust Fund to compensate a victim of the offence of obtaining by false pretenses.<\/p>\n

UN Office on Drugs and Crime<\/p>\n

Regarding management strategies, Shamukuni said the Office of the Receiver, in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and other law enforcement agencies, has developed a Manual and Guide for the management and disposal of frozen, seized, and confiscated properties declared by the courts as proceeds of crime and terrorist assets in Botswana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manual is expected to provide guidance on the efficient management of the proceeds and instruments of crime and terrorist assets,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
