Thirty prosecutors, judges and representatives of law enforcement agencies benefited from discussions and sharing of good practices on the process of tracing, identification, confiscation and seizure of illicit assets.
The participants were introduced to the Guidance on tracing and identification of assets, confiscation and seizure, developed within the Action against Economic Crime in Montenegro, based on international good practices which are applicable in Montenegrin legal framework. The participants discussed practical challenges in implementation of financial investigations and took part in practical exercises of tracing and identifying criminal assets, which enabled them to apply the acquired knowledge in a case scenario including all steps which they would encounter in a real life situation.
The Guidelines and training materials from this event will be further used to strengthen the investigative capacities of prosecution, police and other relevant state institutions in Montenegro.
