The Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA/CEJA ) began on March 16th the implementation in Trinidad and Tobago of the international course “Investigating Corruption by Following the Money,” a training program aimed at strengthening investigative and prosecutorial capacities to address corruption cases in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The training was developed with the technical and financial backing of the German Federal Foreign Office to enhance the tools available to prosecutors and judges to effectively investigate corruption. The course’s topics include economic and financial crime investigation, forensic auditing, and asset forfeiture.

In Trinidad and Tobago the training is offered to professionals from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), which is part of the Criminal Law Department of the Office of the Attorney General.

Through a hybrid format, participants will examine relevant legal frameworks, address common investigative challenges, and explore regional best practices for tracing money trails. The training enhances their ability to detect corruption networks and strengthens evidence in criminal investigations.

The course launch featured the participation of Martin Langer, representative of the German Embassy, together with Ms. Anju Bhola, Assistant Director of the DPP and CEJA’s Executive Director, Ana Aguilar.

Cooperation to strengthen justice systems

This initiative is part of the cooperation and training efforts promoted by the Center for the Study of Justice of the Americas with the financial support of the German Federal Foreign Office to strengthen justice systems in the region, combating corruption, and reinforcing the rule of law.

CEJA is an international organization created by the Organization of American States (OAS) with the mandate to support countries in the Americas in the development and improvement of their justice systems through applied research, technical assistance, and training programs for key justice sector actors.
