Representatives of the Georgian competent authorities attended a training on “Corporate Criminal Liability” on 17-18 December 2019 in Tbilisi, Georgia. The training was organized in cooperation with the Office of the Prosecutor General of Georgia. 

Participants of the training included representatives of the Prosecutor’s Office, State Security Service, Investigation Service of the Ministry of Finance and judges.

The activity enhanced the capacities of the competent authorities to establish corporate criminal liability in practice, to analyse good experience in investigating and prosecuting such activity, to cooperate and share information with other relevant institutions as well as to establish relevant sanctions. These issues were discussed at practical level through relevant cases studies. 

The activity was organized within the EU/CoE Partnership for Good Governance Project “Enhancing the systems of prevention and combating corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing in Georgia” (PGG II-Georgia), launched in January 2019.  It represents a follow-up to the law enforcement capacity building on the subject matter since the first phase of the PGG-Georgia project “Strengthening anti-money laundering institutions in Georgia” (2015-2018).
