Financial Investigations and Asset Recovery Training in Albania (March 2011)

From 14 to 19 March 2011, experts of the International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) in cooperation with the Council of Europe (CoE) carried out an interactive financial investigations/asset recovery training programme in Pogradec, Albania. The aim of the programme was to support the School of Magistrates (SoM) and the Police Formation Center (PFC) of Albania to analyze, investigate and prosecute bribery and money laundering cases.

20 participants, including investigators, prosecutors and judges, attended the training.

The core component of the training programme consisted of a practical exercise where the participants had to investigate a simulated corruption case involving both money laundering and asset recovery elements.  In order to be able to complete the exercise participants had to follow different leads and collect relevant pieces of information and/or evidence. All formal lectures given during the training programme served as a basis for the practical exercise, e.g. the participants were taught how to create and maintain an inventory for keeping track of and easily retrieve the documents that they receive during the investigation process.

10 participants have been selected and will be trained to in turn become trainers.

The next phases of the training programme will be and will consist of:

•    25 to 30 April 2011: 5 and ½ days of an interactive financial investigations/asset recovery training programme in Pogradec, Albania.
•    3 to 5 May 2011: 3-day training programme for the new trainers only in Strasbourg, France. It will focus specifically on adult training techniques, the ICAR training methodology, lecture skills and organization of the simulated case.
•    11 to 15 July 2011: 5 and ½ days of an interactive financial investigations/asset recovery training programme in Albania. It will be the third interactive financial investigations/asset recovery training programme, to be delivered by the new trainers from the SoM and the PFC, under ICAR supervision.
•    18 to 19 July 2011: 2-day session will be conducted by the ICAR staff to provide assistance and direction to the new trainers on any issues or problems that may have arisen during the training programme.

The training programme is funded by the Council of Europe.
