Trillions of state capture loot can be recovered with civil freezing orders - If the state allowed it...

Attorney Christopher Bean, who specialises in the recovery of stolen monies and assets, says: “We want to have it frozen in terms of local freezing orders which apply in those different countries. And then we want to bring the money back. It's that simple. However, says Bean, “there are people who don't want us to do that because it will expose who are the beneficiaries” of that money. And without a mandate, either from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) or a State Owned Enterprise (SOE), Bean can’t go after State Capture loot stashed across the world. He is now challenging CEOs of Public Enterprises to “have the cojones to stand up and have a conversation with us and see if we can help recover the money that belongs to this country so that we can all benefit”. Civil Attachment Orders a.k.a Freezing Orders, Mareva Injunctions and Magnitsky Attachment Orders are currently being used very successfully to attach millions of US$ in Putin Oligarch funds all over the world.
