Representatives from the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) gained experience from Italian law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies.
KNAB representatives learned about the agencies’ experience in detecting and investigating corruption crimes, identifying criminal assets, conducting parallel financial investigations, strategic and tactical analysis, and other topics related to the field of analytics.
“Experience shows that the legalization of illicit funds obtained from bribes, carried out on a large scale, most often takes place abroad. Although such cases prolong investigations, it is possible to identify and investigate the legalization of funds obtained through corruption in foreign countries. In such cases, a particularly important prerequisite is cooperation with partner services in other countries,” noted Sandis Vectēvs, Acting Deputy Director of KNAB for Strategy and Policy Planning.
This is the last study visit implemented by KNAB within the EEA Grants project “Support for the establishment of a whistleblowing system in Latvia”.
