|
|
|
A regional specialised training on “Implementing Standards on Detection, Investigation and Criminalisation of Economic and Financial Crimes”, co-organized by the Council of Europe and ISISC in cooperation with the Basel Institute on Governance, will open on Monday, March 12. The training is organized in the framework of the Eastern Partnership - Council of Europe Facility Project on “Good Governance and Fight against Corruption”.
The training workshop will be conducted during the period 12 - 16 March, and include 26 trainees from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine). The trainees will be provided with the tools for effective law enforcement and implementation of legal frameworks when fighting economic crime.
The training is designed to be “hands on” with trainees investigating a simulated case with over fifty pieces of documentary evidence and hundreds of summarised bank records. The programme will span five days through an interactive combination of foundation building lectures, mini workshops, and the large simulated corruption/money laundering investigation. As the centrepiece of the training, the corruption/money laundering investigation is designed to take practitioners from the basics of corruption and money laundering violations and mutual legal assistance (MLA) to a very advanced level by requiring the trainees to actually perform a complex financial investigation. This practical exercise is supplemented with lectures interspersed at key junctures in the programme to provide the trainees with the skills needed to move forward in their investigation. |
