AI Summary
This bill, the Justice for Victims of Kleptocracy Act of 2021, requires the Attorney General to publicly account for any property relating to foreign government corruption that is forfeited to the United States under existing laws. The bill mandates that the Department of Justice website include the total amount recovered on behalf of the foreign people targeted by corruption, and that this information be updated within 14 days of any new forfeiture, unless it would compromise an ongoing law enforcement investigation. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that recovered assets should be returned to benefit the people harmed by the corruption, with transparent and effective use, administration, and monitoring of the returned proceeds.
