US Embassy increases pressure on crime, brings in IRS experts...
An important message from the United States of America to strengthen the fight against organized crime and money laundering in Albania and the region has been conveyed through a special training program for officials from Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia.
The US Embassy in Tirana announced that US law enforcement authorities are cooperating with counterpart institutions in the three countries to increase capacities in financial investigations, one of the main tools for identifying criminal activities and cracking down on illicit profits.
The program is administered by the Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance, and Training (OPDAT) of the U.S. Department of Justice and funded by the Bureau of Counterterrorism of the State Department.
As part of this collaboration, IRS Criminal Investigation experts have trained regional officials on the use of advanced financial investigation techniques, with the aim of uncovering illegal activities, securing evidence for criminal prosecution, and seizing assets generated by crime.
"Officials from IRS Criminal Investigation explained how to use financial investigation tools to uncover illegal activities, secure evidence for prosecution, and seize illegally obtained profits," the US Embassy said in a statement.
US authorities consider financial investigation to be one of the most effective weapons to crack down on criminal networks, targeting not only the perpetrators of criminal acts, but also the financial resources that support their activity.
