Prosecutors and investigators from the Supreme Cassation Prosecutor's Office, Specialized Prosecutor's Office, Sofia City Prosecutor's Office (SCPO), the Investigation Department within SGPO and the National Investigation Service, as well as investigative police officers, participated in a seminar on data use in complex cases related to financial fraud and corruption, organized by the U.S. Department of Justice. The forum was held in continuation of the established traditional cooperation between the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Bulgaria and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Lecturers at the seminar are experienced federal prosecutors.
The aim of the forum is for participants to exchange experience in analytical skills - where to seek and use data, so as to make it easier for law enforcement agencies to initiate and conduct cases of factual and legal complexity in cases that might otherwise remain unsolved or unproven.
Representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice, investigating fraud, shared how they use data analysis to identify and build successful investigations. Cases related to best experiences and practices were presented, both in the investigation phase and in the judicial phase, in fraud and corruption cases.
