About ARIN-AP

ARIN-AP was founded in 2013 to support the tracing, freezing and confiscation of criminal assets across borders.
It includes 28 member jurisdictions and nine observers, operating as an informal network under the global Camden Asset Recovery Interagency Network (CARIN).
The network operates through a system of contact points across member jurisdictions to enable effective communication and intelligence sharing.
It provides access to over 100 jurisdictions within CARIN, facilitating rapid informal exchanges on individuals, assets and organisations tied to economic crimes.
India will assume the presidency of ARIN-AP in 2026 and will host the Annual General Meeting (AGM) that year.

About Camden Asset Recovery Interagency Network (CARIN)

It is an informal network established in 2004 to enhance international cooperation in the recovery of criminal assets.

It was founded during an asset recovery conference hosted by the Irish Criminal Asset Bureau and has since become a leading tool for law enforcement and judicial practitioners in targeting organised crime, particularly concerning financial crimes.
