OSCE supports workshop on investigating financial crimes and recovering stolen assets in Kazakhstan
An OSCE Programme Office in Astana-supported workshop on investigating financial crime and recovering stolen assets concluded on 8 June 2018 in Astana.
Some 60 law-enforcement officials were trained by national and international experts on investigating money laundering crimes, using open source intelligence in asset recovery, identifying investment fraud and corruption schemes, cross-border tracing of assets and submitting mutual legal requests to foreign jurisdictions for the recovery of repatriated assets.
The five-day event aimed to strengthen interagency co-operation in the field of investigating financial crimes and to familiarize with best international practices in tracing, freezing and recovering stolen assets from abroad.
The workshop was organized by the OSCE Programme Office in Astana in partnership with the Law Enforcement Academy under the Prosecutor General's Office and the United States Embassy in Astana.
The event builds on the Programme Office’s multi-year efforts to promote good governance and combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
