This course is the first in a multiple-course series intended to foster mutual understanding between investigative journalists, civil society activists, and law enforcement on the challenges of fighting international corruption and money laundering. The growing need to address public corruption beyond simply exposing corrupt public actors seems logical, but the system of criminal law enforcement and international asset recovery is often inadequate for the task. This reality is especially true in countries where the manipulation of government ministries by wealthy, economically, and politically well-connected “businessmen” impacts not only how criminal laws are enforced, especially against these persons, but also who is selected to enforce those laws.
The course is open to investigative journalists and anti-corruption civic activists, who would like to learn the techniques used by law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting high political corruption cases. the course is limited to investigative journalists and anti-corruption civic activists from the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, northern Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine.
To apply, please fill in this registration form by 15 August 2024.
