This training is the logical continuation of the systemic work conducted by UNODC to support partners in combatting money laundering and the recovery of proceeds of crime. UNODC conducts a series of training sessions for the central offices and regional departments of law enforcement agencies of Kazakhstan involved in financial investigations and asset recovery.

The main objectives of the practical training are to strengthen the capacity of state authorities to conduct financial investigations and asset recovery and to suppress illicit financial flows from criminal activities, making lives of regular people safer and stable.

Training participants noted that the practical part of the training helped them improve their skills and strengthen their knowledge in anti-money laundering and countering financing of terrorism, financial investigations, and assets recovery.
