Asset recovery & Repatriation

Reclaiming stolen national wealth and fighting corruption.

Our capabilities

Firnal works alongside sovereign nations to identify, trace, and recover stolen or illicitly transferred national wealth—bringing stolen assets home, restoring public trust, and delivering justice at scale.

Global financial tracing across complex jurisdictions

Our proprietary financial mapping system tracks stolen funds across shell companies, proxy owners, layered bank accounts, and shadow holdings in over 140 countries. Whether it’s oil revenue siphoned into offshore accounts or precious metals laundered through corporate fronts, we follow the money—wherever it goes.

Cross-border legal navigation & recovery

Firnal’s legal experts coordinate with international enforcement agencies, asset recovery task forces, and legal bodies to initiate asset freezes, seizures, and repatriation. We provide the full legal strategy, from evidence gathering to case structuring and intergovernmental negotiation—cutting through bureaucracy to deliver action.

Intelligence-led investigations & surveillance

We deploy elite investigation teams, digital forensics experts, and OSINT analysts to uncover asset trails, decode networks of fraud, and identify hidden beneficiaries. We work quietly, effectively, and with precision—often revealing paths others miss.

Technology-driven asset identification

Our AI models analyze massive troves of trade, tax, and satellite data to detect anomalies in asset movement, corporate ownership, and export declarations. This allows us to discover and validate hidden or misclassified wealth, from underreported mineral exports to unlicensed property transfers.

Diplomatic discretion & political navigation

We understand the political sensitivity surrounding stolen national wealth. Firnal works confidentially, discreetly, and in close coordination with national leadership to ensure efforts remain sovereign, secure, and free from international overreach or reputational fallout.

Post-recovery planning & public transparency

Reclaiming assets is just the first step. Firnal supports governments in reintroducing recovered wealth into national systems transparently and accountably—advising on allocation, public reporting, and infrastructure deployment to maximize public benefit and political goodwill.

Client success stories

Recovering Over $400M in Misappropriated Export Revenues

Firnal alongside its partners assisted a resource-rich African nation in tracing and reclaiming funds linked to underreported natural resource exports. By analyzing shipping manifests, customs filings, and buyer declarations, we uncovered a global web of offshore entities and recovered over $400 million—later reinvested into public education and infrastructure.

Exposing Real Estate Laundering Rings in Europe

A Latin American country approached Firnal to trace high-value real estate acquisitions in Western Europe tied to corrupt former officials. Our teams and partners identified over 27 properties linked through proxies and shell firms. Working with European authorities, Firnal secured asset freezes and helped initiate a legal transfer of ownership back to the sovereign government.

Reclaiming Precious Metal Profits Hidden Through Third-Party Shells

In Central Africa, a national government suspected that mining revenues were being diverted by a multinational partnership. Firnal and its partners used satellite imagery, export data, and corporate leak databases to uncover undeclared profits. Within six months, we recovered funds equivalent to 18% of the nation's previous annual mineral revenue.
