In collaboration with the Better Migration Management program, we organized a training for Kenyan law enforcement agencies, on counter-trafficking in persons’ legal and policy framework. The training also sought to enhance the officers’ knowledge of the financial investigation process in relation to trafficking in persons.
Financial investigations are crucial to dismantle organized crime groups involved in organized crime, including Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants.
Proceeds of crime need to be seized and confiscated as they are normally reinvested in criminal activities, including terrorism. Furthermore, the proceeds of crime, if seized and confiscated, can contribute to the national funds for victims of trafficking and to the compensation of the victims.
This training was organised under the CIVIPOL umbrella, jointly by AML-CFT ESCAY Project and BMM. CIVIPOL , the technical cooperation operator of the French Ministry of Interior, which is the implementer of our EU-funded AML-CFT ESCAY Project, is also one of the implementing partners of the Better Migration Management Programme, which is co-funded by Germany and the European Commission.
