The project “RINSE– Research and Information Sharing on freezing and confiscation orders in European Union” is a synergy of 6 Partners across 4 EUMS (Italy, Greece, Belgium and France) aiming to contribute to fostering the mutual recognition of the decisions of EU countries regarding the seizure and confiscation of assets, by enhancing knowledge, competences and skills of judiciary professionals and other key players involved in the Multi-Phase Asset Recovery process.

RINSE started at December 2022 and has a duration of 30 months

It is funded by the Justice Programme of the European Union.
