ICAR Trainings on Investigative Techniques

There are several steps which lead to a successful asset repatriation, but the way always starts with an efficient financial investigation. In order to repatriate one must first find. For this, it is vital to develop the skills required to locate ill gotten gains and follow them two ways: back to their source but also to their destination. The difficulty of this exercise depends on how these assets were hidden.

Another important element of good investigative techniques is the capacity to demonstrate the illicit origin of the assets found, to prove the elements of the crime. For this reason, it is necessary to get familiarized with the pertinent offences as established in each country's legislation.

The ICAR takes special interest in this section of the training, as it develops country specific lectures in which the recipient country's legislation is studied and analyzed, and the tools available in each region are utilized. The institute prepares tailor-made programmes for each individual country so that the trainings can be of practical use.
