The GLACY+ Project supported the Ministry of Justice and Labour of Cape Verde in organizing a three-day Introductory Judicial Course on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence for judges and prosecutors, using the new Council of Europe judicial training materials.
With this occasion, 35 practitioners gained introductory skills and knowledge required for judges and prosecutors to fulfil their respective roles and functions in cases of cybercrime, electronic evidence and search, seizure and confiscation of online crime proceeds.
All the sessions were delivered by a pool of national trainers, belonging to the Cape Verdean criminal justice sector that were previously trained as trainers under the GLACY+ Project.
Due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a hybrid format was used, with local trainers and trainees in the room, and international experts and Council of Europe staff joining via videoconference.
This is the first training delivered by national trainers in Cape Verde and paves the way for future similar training initiatives in-country or even in the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).
