The training was organised in cooperation with the Commission for Combatting Corruption, Anti-Corruption Directorate under General Prosecutor’s Office, State Security Service, and other relevant government institutions within the framework of the PGG project “Strengthening the Anti-Money Laundering in Azerbaijan”.
Two international experts provided prosecutors and judges, as well as representatives of respective state bodies with a general overview of international legal standards and introduced them into the main challenges and effective practices when investigating and prosecuting terrorism financing offences. The training was complemented with interactive discussions and case studies thus ensuring that the participants better understand the practical aspects of terrorism financing.
