According to Dailypost, this was stated succinctly in a statement released by the UN Department of Justice on Thursday.

Recall that in 2014, a District of Columbia court ruling ordered the seizure of over $500 million; this is from a civil forfeiture case for more than $625 million on various accounts linked to money laundering involving Abacha, who passed away on June 8, 1998.
