reprivatizes
Returns to private ownership
Reprivatizes means to return something to private ownership after it had been nationalized or taken under public control.
Governments reprivatize industries, utilities, or services that were previously privatized, then nationalized, now privatized again: The administration reprivatizes the railway system after decades of state management.
The prefix re- signals this isn't the first round of privatization.
