The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has stepped up efforts to tackle money laundering and illicit financial flows through a specialized training programme, which is targeting its corporate services staff.

The ODPP says that the initiative is aimed at strengthening the institution’s internal capacity in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) reporting, with also focusing on improving how the financial data and records are handled within the Office.

Speaking during the opening of the training, Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda said that the programme is both timely and strategic, and that it comes at a crucial moment when financial crimes are becoming increasingly complicated.

“This training on basic Anti-Money Laundering, data, and record management comes at an opportune time.
