According to the press service of the Azerbaijani Prosecutor General`s Office, the event co-organized by the Council of Europe (CoE) and International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences (ISISC) was held as part of the Eastern Partnership - Council of Europe Facility Project on “Good Governance and Fight against Corruption”.
The trainees from Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia were provided with the tools for effective law enforcement and implementation of legal frameworks when fighting economic crime, according to the official website of ISISC.
The training was designed to be “hands on” with trainees investigating a simulated case with over fifty pieces of documentary evidence and hundreds of summarised bank records.
As the centrepiece of the training, the corruption/money laundering investigation was 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 was supplemented with lectures interspersed at key junctures in the programme to provide the trainees with the skills needed to move forward in their investigation.
