OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan supports training webinar on prosecution for money laundering and best practices in forensic investigation

An OSCE-supported half-day training webinar on prosecution for money laundering and best practices in forensic investigation concluded on 7 September 2020 in Nur-Sultan.

The OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan, in partnership with the Committee of Financial Monitoring under the Finance Ministry and the Law Enforcement Academy under the Prosecutor General’s Office/Regional Hub organized the event.

Some 20 representatives of Kazakhstan’s law enforcement agencies attended the webinar, which focussed on best global practices related to financial crime investigation as well as international co-operation in financial investigation.

An international expert from Israel covered topics such as criminal prosecution for money laundering and interdepartmental co-operation - in particular, among prosecutors, representatives of the Financial Intelligence Units and the law enforcement agencies. Particular attention was paid to Israel’s practices related to forensic investigation and criminal confiscation.

The training webinar is part of the Programme Office’s multi-year efforts to promote good governance by focussing on anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism in Kazakhstan.
