Grant Description

Through training and technical assistance, the program develops new laws and regulations to both criminalize money laundering and terrorist financing and to establish asset freezing/seizure regimes, and addresses financial controls and reporting that meet international standards.

Additionally, a Resident Legal Advisor will help prosecutors and judges develop strategies and techniques to successfully prosecute complex financial cases, including how to analyze, use and present evidence, how to implement the new laws and authorities they will have, and how to interact with one another and the investigators.
