The Law Enforcement Academy, in collaboration with the General Prosecutor's Office, has begun implementing the TAIEX INTPA project to assess corruption risks in criminal proceedings as part of the multi-year indicative program of the European Union for Uzbekistan from 2021-2027, with the support of the European Union Delegation in Uzbekistan.
A three-day training on "Reducing Corruption Risks in Criminal Justice" was held at the Academy to exchange experiences in identifying and assessing potential corruption risks in the field of criminal justice.
The training was conducted by Yaroslav Strelchenok, an EU expert on fighting corruption, who headed the Latvian Bureau for Prevention and Combating of Corruption (KNAB) from 2011-2016.
The training was attended by employees from the General Prosecutor's Office, the Department for Combating Economic Crimes, the Bureau of Execution, and the Law Enforcement Academy responsible for conducting investigations and pre-trial actions, supervising investigations and inquiries, as well as internal security officers.
At the end of the event, participants discussed the plan for assessing corruption risks, the list of tasks and functions of the staff involved in the justice process, and a questionnaire to determine corruption risks. They also developed their projects.
