Monaco is usually thought of as a place where wealth is kept, not where it is recovered. Yet for victims of fraud, the Principality is becoming a more effective jurisdiction than many practitioners realise. Our Monaco chapter in Lexology In-Depth: Asset Tracing and Recovery – 14th Edition explains why.
The backdrop is a period of real change. More than 400 criminal inquiries have been opened, and sanctions, freezing orders and convictions have all increased. There is also a service that manages the administration of seized and confiscated assets.
On cross-border matters, the chapter looks at jurisdiction under the Code of Private International Law and at Monaco’s adherence to the Hague Convention choice of jurisdiction in April 2026.
