Algeria: Boumédiène's kin and assets
The article reviews Algeria and Switzerland's efforts to recover stolen assets and funds belonging to former figures and officials, including Said Bouteflika and Abdel Salam Bouchouareb, through the exchange of legal procedures and judicial cooperation agreements. Reports indicate that Algeria has announced the recovery of over $110 million so far, but Swiss officials warn that the assets are still under investigation to verify their illegal origins, and the funds have not yet been officially handed over. Algeria faces challenges in proving the illicit source of these funds, while its ongoing international legal efforts aim to recover what is believed to be billions of dollars in stolen money since Bouteflika's era, with the total amount recovered still remaining uncertain.
