On 9 March 2016, the Basel Institute on Governance, through its Managing Director Ms Gretta Fenner, and the Peruvian Judiciary, through its head of the Judiciary Victor Ticona Postigo, signed a framework agreement in a bid to fight cross-border corruption and money laundering and, in turn, facilitate the return of assets arising from such crimes.

This cooperation agreement is part of the “Subnational Public Finance Management Strengthening Programme” signed between the governments of Peru and Switzerland in October 2015 and implemented by the Basel Institute through its Lima office.
