Cybercriminalité

Over 20 judges, prosecutors, investigators and judicial trainers from several regions of the Republic of Moldova participated in the Advanced Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence Training, facilitated by CyberEast+ , a joint project of the European Union and of the Council of Europe, in partnership with the National Institute of Justice of Moldova.   

During the four-day course, participants engaged in discussions on cybercrime legislation and electronic evidence challenges, including handling cases concerning virtual currencies. The  instruments for international co-operation required for the successful investigation, prosecution and adjudication of cybercrime cases were also analysed, in line with the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) and its First and Second additional protocols.

On the last day of the training, the Moldovan counterparts showcased their knowledge of legal practices and procedures in a practical case scenario. This followed all the judicial steps from the initiation of the case to the trial and included sufficient legal grounds and evidence for successful adjudication.

The CyberEast+ project is committed to strengthening the capacities of judges, magistrates and prosecutors in the Republic of Moldova by delivering sustainable judicial training programmes on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
