Thirty representatives of judiciary, prosecution and law enforcement agencies took part in two day training on asset tracing and identification, organized within CoE/EU Horizontal Facility Action against Economic Crime in Montenegro on 26-27 November 2018 in Budva. The training addressed common problems and misconceptions during criminal investigation, including standards of proof for prosecutors and judges, differences in the grounds for suspicion required by the police and the prosecution, quality of intelligence provided by financial intelligence units, and the roles of the tax and the customs administration as well as asset management office in identifying and managing seized assets. Participants had the opportunity to test their knowledge and skills on a hypothetical case of organized crime, human trafficking and money-laundering. The training is based on the „Guidelines on tracing, monitoring, confiscation and seizure of assets“ produced under the Action.
