Trinidad and Tobago is set to bolster its fight against corruption following a training workshop on investigating and prosecuting financial crimes.
The three-day event, hosted by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in collaboration with the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Legal Affairs, provided law enforcement and policymakers with critical tools to crack down on corruption.
Supported by Canada and the United States, the initiative strengthens Trinidad and Tobago’s ability to detect, investigate, and prosecute economic crimes more effectively.
Minister in the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Legal Affairs, Renuka Sagramsingh-Sooklal, reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to transparency and urged collective action to safeguard the nation’s integrity.
During the workshop, participants discussed key issues, including the legislative requirements under laws like the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act.
