The recovery of assets derived from illegal activities remains a key priority for Cyprus authorities, deputy Attorney-General Savvas Angelides said on Tuesday.
Addressing a three-day training symposium organised by the Law Office in Limassol, Angelides stressed that tackling crime goes beyond punishing unlawful acts and extends to depriving offenders of their illicit gains .
Confiscating illegal proceeds plays a crucial role in preventing future crimes and protecting victims, he added.
