More than 45 representatives from district prosecutor’s offices, regional police directorates and the General Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering from Kukës, Tropojë, Shkodër, Pukë, Lezhë and Dibër benefited from a two-day training on “Asset tracing and identification for purposes of seizure and confiscation in a criminal case” which took place on 4-5 April 2018 in Shkodër, Albania. During the training, participants were provided with an in-depth understanding of tracing, seizure and confiscation of assets through lectures, discussions and worked on hypothetical case studies. This training is the second in the series of trainings aimed at raising asset seizure and confiscation law enforcement and criminal justice capacities in Albania, and is focused on ensuring equal development of regional capacities in the field.

The events took part under the joint European Union/Council of Europe Action against Economic Crime in Albania (AEC-AL).
