The Financial Intelligence Agency participated in the three-day training organized by EU4Law Enforcement Albania on strengthening the capacities of law enforcement agencies in tracing financial flows through proactive and parallel financial investigations, with the participation of Ferdinando Rucco, Permanent International Expert on Financial Investigations within the project.
The activity focused on enhancing operational capacities to trace financial flows and target criminal assets in investigations related to organized crime, corruption, and money laundering.
Key topics included: parallel and proactive financial investigations, asset tracing and confiscation, cryptocurrencies, informal banking systems, use of investigative tools, and international cooperation mechanisms such as Asset Recovery Offices.
The training brought together 22 participants from FIA, the State Police General Directorate, SPAK, the General Directorate of Taxation, and Customs Administration, promoting inter-institutional cooperation and standardized investigative approaches.
In conclusion, we acknowledge EU4Law Enforcement Albania and GIZ Albania for their continued support and contribution to these valuable trainings, as well as the Project Coordinator, Mr. Giovanni Pasqua, for his successful coordination of the activity.
