The recovery of assets derived from corruption crimes plays a ‎decisive role in preventing corruption offenses. However, traditional ‎or direct asset recovery, which is based on formal cooperation ‎between states, has become practically unsuccessful due to the rapid ‎transfer of corrupt criminal assets from one country to others and the ‎complexity of accessing criminals when they flee. This situation has ‎shifted the focus of judicial, law enforcement, and intelligence ‎agencies towards informal asset recovery, which is based on ‎principles of speed, efficiency, and reliability. Alongside informal ‎recovery, indirect recovery is also considered a new strategy in the ‎field of asset recovery. The main question of this research is what ‎capacities and barriers exist in international law regarding the ‎identification of new strategies for the recovery of assets derived from ‎corruption crimes for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The findings of this ‎research indicate that, firstly, given the rapid transfer of corrupt ‎criminal assets from one jurisdiction to another, the new international ‎legal system has focused on informal mechanisms for recovering ‎assets derived from corruption crimes, such as STAR, IML, etc. ‎Currently, Iran is only a member of one of these mechanisms, and the ‎legal status of this type of cooperation with these frameworks remains ‎undefined. Secondly, attention to the indirect recovery of assets should ‎occur alongside direct recovery, and in this context, some formal ‎mechanisms for asset recovery, such as confiscation without a ‎criminal conviction or administrative confiscation accepted in the ‎Merida Convention, have not been recognized in Iran's legal system.‎
