Asset recovery has become a cross-cutting axis of criminal policy worldwide. Tracking money and recovering assets is a priority in the fight against crime, in particular organized crime, corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing. To ensure that crime is not profitable (“Crime doesn´t pay”) in recent years, two measures have acquired great prominence worldwide: freezing and confiscation. However, these measures can only be applied effectively if they are based on an equally efficient system of identification and preventive monitoring of the proceeds of crime, including those that have been the object of money laundering. The fight against crime through freezing and confiscation depends on a global and global approach that encompasses both judicial cooperation and that of investigative services, complementary and inseparable facets of the same policy. Timely availability of information is essential for criminal investigations of serious crimes. Financial investigations and financial analysis of illicit activities as policing techniques improve the identification and tracking of proceeds of crime. Hence the importance of having the regulatory instruments that provide for the use of financial and other information for the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offenses. As EUROPOL has shown, more needs to be done to exploit financial intelligence in order to make a more meaningful contribution to the fight against serious crime and achieve real results in the fight against the misuse of the financial system for money laundering. of money, the financing of terrorism and other criminal activities. The asset investigation is of great importance in the criminal order for the punishment of money laundering by allowing the capture of criminals for their economic flows, a weak point of criminal organizations. The Financial Investigation Units (FIUs) play a very prominent role in the fight against organized crime and other associated criminal phenomena. The lack of financial information could prevent the investigation of serious crimes, the prevention of criminal activities and the dismantling of criminal groups, as well as the detection and immobilization of proceeds from criminal activities. These Units contribute to reinforcing security, improving the prosecution of financial crimes, fighting money laundering and preventing tax crimes, hence the importance of enhancing their capacity to carry out financial investigations and improve cooperation between them.
