In 2015, experts from the International Centre for Asset Recovery conducted three training workshops in Kuwait City, as part of a one-year multi-component capacity-building programme for the Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority (KANCOR). Subjects covered in the three workshops included: “Financial investigations and Asset Recovery”, “Corruption in Infrastructure Projects and Procurement”, and “Offshore Structures and Mutual Legal Assistance”.

The third workshop on Offshore structures and MLA was attended by 25 participants, comprising prosecutors, KANCOR legal professionals, investigators, auditors and engineers, and representatives of the Financial Intelligence Unit and Central Bank of Kuwait. The ICAR team was joined by experts from the United Kingdom in the delivery of the presentations.
