The “Training of judiciary and police on processing money laundering cases - Module 3” took place in Tivat on 12-13 May 2021 and it was organised within the joint European Union/Council of Europe Action against economic crime in Montenegro.

The third and final module of this training program aimed at increasing the capacity of judges, prosecutors and police with methods for calculating criminal proceeds, using various forms and models of international co-operation, and gathering and analysing forensic evidence. This module provided, similarly to the previous training phases, concrete examples of indictments and convictions for money laundering offenses issued in Italy and Netherlands.

The module constituted the final stage of the comprehensive pilot training programme for 20 representatives of judiciary and police, that encompassed 16 core topics for the effective processing of money laundering, 6 practical exercises for developing cases and many practical examples from the real-life investigations and court proceedings. The programme will be submitted for approval to the Judicial Training Centre, with a view to become part of official curricula for continuous education of judges.

The Action against economic crime in Montenegro is a part of the joint European Union/Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022”.
