On 30 March 2021, the Action against economic crime organised a needs' assessment meeting for the upcoming drafting of the law on origin of property. High level representatives of beneficiary institutions and longtime practitioners, including the President of the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption, discussed with Council of Europe consultants the difficulties they are facing when dealing with proofing the origin of property and the need for drafting a separate law.

Based on the discussions and the needs identified, as well as European and international standards and good practices, the activity will result with the development of a roadmap for the setup of a legislative framework to address illicit enrichment.

The Council of Europe/European Union Horizontal Facility II - Action against Economic Crime in North Macedonia will continue to support beneficiaries through its technical assistance and expertise.
