Two-week training program titled “Intelligence Analysis and Advanced Investigation Techniques for Wildlife Crime” (IA-AITWC)

ILSTA, in collaboration with the Office of the Supreme People’s Prosecutor, developed and organized a two-week training program titled “Intelligence Analysis and Advanced Investigation Techniques for Wildlife Crime” (IA-AITWC).
Participants from organizations such as the Supreme People’s Prosecutor, Lao Custom Department, Anti-Money Laundering Intelligence Office, Department and Provincial Office of Forest Inspections, Department and Provincial Environmental Police, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gathered to acquire specialized skills in investigating transnational wildlife crime and its associated offense of money laundering.
It’s crucial to recognize that, like all organized crime, wildlife crime is intricately linked to money laundering.
Moreover, a representative from the Anti-Money Laundering Intelligence Office (AMLIO) provided invaluable insights by updating law enforcement agencies on the Mutual Evaluation results and delivering an overview of Anti-Money Laundering (AML/CFT) practices in Lao PDR.
This collaborative effort underscores Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation, ILSTA commitment to combatting wildlife crime and strengthening anti-money laundering efforts.
