4.1 Presence in Albania
On 18 and 19 December, the Presence facilitated the
participation of seven Albanian experts and practitioners
at a ToT course in Vienna aimed at strengthening Albania’s
capacity to disrupt the financing of terrorist networks.
Participants included members of the General Directorate for
the Prevention of Money Laundering, the Counterterrorism
Directorate of the State Police, the Counter Intelligence
Analytical Directorate and the Training Centre of the State
Intelligence Service (SHISH), as well as the Prosecutor’s
Office for Serious Crimes. The course was organized by the
TNTD and UNODC/GPML and was the first of a series
of progressively advanced training courses on countering
the financing of terrorism. Participants were acquainted
with complex analytical and operational planning methods
through a training process that focused on localized scenarios
based on real life cases. They learned how inter-agency cooperation can contribute to disrupting terrorist financial
networks and strengthen their skills in the use of instruments
and techniques for countering terrorist financing.
Trafficking in Human Beings &
Migration-related Crime
In December, the Presence, in co-operation with the ASP
Department of BMP, organized one-day training sessions on
irregular migration in Gjirokastra, Korça and Shkodra. The
trainees, 30 migration specialists from the regional border
and migration directorates, were familiarized with recent
trends of migration flows, profiling and identification of FTFs
among migrants, and pre-screening procedures.
Cybercrime
As part of a larger OSCE regional capacity-building project
for SEE's criminal justice institutions, addressing various
thematic aspects of combating cybercrime and cyber-enabled
crime, a series of six regional training activities were carried
out.
Four Albanian trainers, who passed all six regional training
courses, conducted a first round of training activities from 8
to 12 October in the ASP Security Academy. Sixteen trainees
from different police structures, such as those sectors fighting
against narcotics, trafficking, money laundering, corruption,
crimes committed against persons, property and domestic
violence, were trained on Live Data Forensic and Open Source
Investigations.
