From 27 to 31 March, TNTD, with the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia and its Academy, organized regional cybercrime training on “Malware Investigations” in Tbilisi, Georgia, for a group of police investigators, cybercrime investigators and digital forensics examiners from Azerbaijan and Georgia. Participants learned how to obtain information from the malware analysis process in order to identify criminals, identify and secure evidence, and investigate and prepare cases for prosecution. From 5 to 9 June, a second training course on “Python Programming for Investigators” was delivered to the same group of participants, who deepened their understanding of advanced digital forensic tools. Participants practiced developing their own programmes for automating forensic processes and gathering open source intelligence. The training material for both courses was developed by the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group (ECTEG) and was delivered by ECTEG recommended trainers. From 15 to 19 May, TNTD, in co-operation with the Federal Public Financial Service of Belgium, delivered regional training for police investigators in Eastern Europe on “Investigation of Illicit Trafficking of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) Facilitated by Darknet and Virtual/ Cryptocurrencies”, in Minsk, Belarus. The training was delivered to a selected group of law enforcement personnel from Belarus, Moldova and the Russian Federation. Participants learned about technologies and tools that enable criminals to use anonymity and encryption in committing drug-related crimes. They also explored the Darknet and practiced identifying suspicious transactions in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoins. The training enhanced the capacities of participants in identifying, tracing and obtaining evidence in support of investigations against the production and trafficking of NPS.
