INL Sponsors DHS Financial Investigations Training

INL Sponsors DHS Financial Investigations Training

From April 17-20, the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) sponsored a series of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trainings, led by Homeland Security Investigations special agents, for Armenian investigators, Financial Intelligence Unit staff, prosecutors, and judges.

The course focused on investigations and prosecutions of financial crimes, offering participants updates on current threats and trends in financial crimes and money laundering. The course was interactive and facilitated direct communication between U.S. and Armenian law enforcement officers who will be able to directly exchange information for investigations.

This project is part of a larger INL-funded assistance program, which supports Armenia’s efforts in modernizing its law enforcement and countering transnational crime and drug trafficking, with the intent of keeping Americans safe at home by countering international crime and corruption abroad.
