Data on asset recovery is published annually, the latest published figures are available on gov.uk at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/asset-recovery-statistics.

The Home Office runs the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS). With over 250 agencies participating in the Scheme, it would take disproportionate time and resource to provide a detailed breakdown of these individual payments.

The amounts recovered in respect of confiscation orders, together with amounts paid from this amount in compensation is provided in the attached table. This information was taken from the live database, JARD (Joint Asset Recovery Database) on 9 May 2019.

There are no immediate plans for changing the distribution allocations in the ARIS, but the Government keeps it under review. The upcoming Asset Recovery Action Plan will make wider recommendations to improve the use and effectiveness of powers and practice in this area.
