This session is part of a hybrid program that combines virtual sessions with face-to-face meetings. It is designed to provide prosecutors, justice sector operators, and law enforcement agencies with practical tools and specialized knowledge to identify, trace, and prosecute illicit financial flows.
In this first session, 20 representatives from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions will participate, advancing in the practical application of the content covered in the initial modules of the course, which focus on understanding the phenomenon of corruption and designing effective strategies to trace assets linked to illicit activities.
The session will be led by expert Hema Soondarsingh, who will guide participants through applied exercises aimed at strengthening their investigative skills, particularly in financial analysis and case building.
A Practical Approach to Tackling Corruption
The program addresses the main challenges in prosecuting corruption-related crimes in the region, emphasizing the “follow the money” approach as a key strategy to identify networks, reconstruct illicit operations, and strengthen evidence in judicial proceedings.
Through a methodology that combines theory and practice, participants will acquire tools over four weeks to:
- Understand applicable legal and regulatory frameworks
- Design efficient investigation plans
- Analyze financial and non-financial information
- Strengthen judicial cooperation at both national and international levels
