This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be the responsibility of law enforcement agencies, such as the Crown Prosecution Service, and the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.
The Crown Prosecution Service has an Asset Recovery Strategy, with a section on recovering assets on behalf of other countries, which you can find here:

The National Crime Agency explains civil recovery powers here:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
