The law contains rules designed to eliminate the conditions for the illegal withdrawal of assets, stimulate voluntary returns or initiate forced returns, among other provisions.
Based on the analysis results, a limited register of persons who need to submit a special declaration of assets will be prepared as well. If the owner of the assets fails to confirm their origin, they will be recognized as unlawfully acquired and subject to recovery processes by the state.
The returned assets will be used to finance projects that improve the welfare of people.
