Repatriation & Legal Process

It's essential to note that the discovery of a stolen vehicle doesn't automatically guarantee immediate return to the rightful owner. The resolution of such situations depends on the local legislation of the country where the vehicle is found. Vehicles may remain confiscated, be connected to ongoing criminal activities, or become part of ongoing police investigations. We handle the litigation of custody, proving the rightful owner and the process to recover the vehicle from one country to another.
